Help my children listen to Your word and obey it. They will show others the goodness of God for You called them out of the darkness and into Your wonderful light.

1Peter 2:8-9
When someone exits my children’s life… that doesn’t mean they are being abandoned… it just means that part of their story is over. May they continue to embrace those that cross their paths, then joyfully send them off at parting time. Ruth 1:14-16, 2Sa 12:20
Give my children the wisdom to see that Your command to love God above all others is about actions. Love is a verb… They must seek Your presence and Your wisdom through bible study, prayer, and good teachers of Your Word (make me one of those!) so they will be led by the Holy Spirit…
May my children STOP trying to humanize God. Yes, He loves those we perceive as bad … as much as those we perceive as good. We tend to love people based on their actions … God loves them based on who He is! Psalms 107:15-20
Help my children see that they were given the affection of compassion so that they can protect lives by helping one another. We were created by one God, descended from one man, connected by the law of kinship and should love everyone. Gal 6:2, Lactantius
May others look upon my children as strong, courageous, joyful and loving servants of God … and know that You are all powerful and worthy of praise and thanksgiving. I pray others will turn to You because of my children. Joshua 2:11
My children’s greatest challenge will not be lack of opportunity… but being ready when it comes! Give them a heart of endurance to overcome all obstacles and stay their course, for I believe that you are working to accomplish great things with their lives. Thank you for making me a part of their story! 2…
