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

When my children experience the majesty and beauty of the natural world… may they remember Christ and know that He is the restorer of their souls. That He is altogether lovely… and their friend! SS 5:16

Make Your way level and straight before my children. They are young and need Your guidance. Send me out before them as a might worker removing stones and breaking down obstructions with every prayer I utter and every act of obedience and service to You. Ps. 5:7-8

May those who care for my children find rest. Your Word teaches us that the natural path away from depression, lack of perspective, and a sense of hopelessness is to rest our bodies, receive the love being poured out to us by friends, and banish the whispers of fear by replacing them with Your voice…

Keep my children from believing the lie that the thing they desire most will bring them the happiness they so desperately crave (be it a relationship, their health, a certain possession, financial security, etc…). Teach my children that true happiness comes when they trust You for what they need, knowing if it’s right You’ll provide…

I pray that my children leave their comfort zone today and share Your name when the time arises… they will know… let their ears be open to Your voice and their hearts be full of Your love so that Your goodness will naturally flow out of them to bless others. Mt 9:38
