Build strong character in my children by teaching them the importance of self discipline. Their greatest victories will be their internal ones. They will set their standards high by following the example of Jesus so they will have the spiritual strength and character needed to accomplish great things for You. Pr 16:32, Mt 16:24

May Your Word become a guide for my children so that when they read ‘let every man be quick to hear, ready to listen, slow to speak, slow to take offense and to get angry’ that they take it to heart and implement Your wisdom! Jas 1:19

My children will acknowledge the personal corruptions present in their hearts and give those to You, but they will not use them as a crutch to justify their shortcomings. They will present their pure unblemished hearts before You by covering themselves with the blood of Jesus… and they will live free. Lev 2:12

Give my children a tender heart… may they feel Your pain in the presence of friends who have closed their ears to Your Word and chosen not to receive or obey Your promptings. May these experiences cause them to renew their faith in Your way. And I ask You to help my children understand that…

I pray that You strengthen my children with Your glorious power so that they will have all the patience and endurance they need. Colossians 1:11

Transform my children by renewing their minds. Please find a way to bring the Word into their lives today, giving them a desire to know how you want them to live. Obedience to your Word is the best way for all of us to find what we are looking for… but the enemy is working…
