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

My children will make allowance for each other’s faults and forgive the person that offends them. They will be bound together by love and let the peace that comes from Christ rule their hearts. Colossians 3:13-15

When my children fall into bed after a long productive day I will rejoice rather than pity them for having to work so hard … for the sleep of a laboring man is sweet … and the ability to enjoy the fruit of labor is a gift from God. Ecclesiastes 5:12,19

Give my children the wisdom of Joseph. To know that God is in control of our lives at all times,even in times of trouble. May they grow in this time so they will be prepared to accomplish Your will when the pieces fall into place. And they will!! Ge 45:8

When my children feel the favor, benefits, and opportunities that seem too good to be true, as if the stars have lined up and everything is too perfect … I pray they give You the glory. May they walk securely in Your favor in these moments and reject any feeling of discouragement, weariness or exhaustion….
