Your word teaches us that if anyone will not work, neither let them eat. As my children mature, help me identify appropriate ways to hold them accountable for idleness and not taking care of their business!

1Thessalonians 3:11-12
May my children recognize who they are… clay in the Potter’s hand. The pressure, spinning and heat may at times feel ‘too much’ for them as their lives are shaped and formed into vessels God can use to bless… as well as bless others. Isa 64:8
I pray my children’s lives become a conduit to bring your love and purpose to fruition in the lives of those around them. Give me the wisdom to cleverly get your Word into them until the day they begin to crave time alone with you… and that time will come! Isa 55:10-11
Let my children experience the exquisite peace and contentment that You have given to me. Then they will crave more and seek opportunities for righteous living… for Your confidential communion and secret counsel are only with those who are upright and in right standing with You. Pr 3:32
We cannot produce peace, it is a fruit of the Spirit. When my children received Christ they also received His peace… they just don’t always know how to activate it. May they allow the Prince of Peace to govern their lives because it is in circumstances where my children submit to His will (not theirs)…
Help my children carry the burden of someone else today, taking time to listen to a hurting friend, show kindness to the lonely, or encourage the downtrodden with their patience. Gal 6:2
Please don’t let my children succumb to the notion they can go alone. They were each created to function as an integral and crucial member in the body of Christ. May they find their place… then have the courage to take it! Heb 10:25
