Don’t let any unwholesome talk come out of my mouth, but only what is helpful for building others up. My children will know my criticism is for their benefit and not feel the sting but only the comfort of my hand leading them in the way of God. Ephesians 4:29

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

As my children walk throughout their day, may the whispers and jeers fade as they are filled with your Sprit. They are Your children; loving, strong, wise and beautiful… do not let the world bring them down and crush them. 1Jn 3:1  

Show my children that in every story of victory there are chapters of defeat. Teach them to estimate difficulty NOT in the light of their own resources but of Yours. Give them a spirit of adventure and confidence so they won’t be hindered by the traps of the enemy. 1 Jn 4:4

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 

May my children hear the whispers moving them to serve others. Their physical eyes hinder their God given sight … let them see past the physical imperfections of others and see what God sees! 1John 2:20, John 16:14
