I trust Christ to save me. Use my life to teach my children that God’s way of making us right with himself depends on faith, not their own goodness. Let them experience the mighty power that raised Christ from the dead. Php 3:9-10  

Help my children carry the burden of someone else today, taking time to listen to a hurting friend, showing kindness to the lonely, or encouraging the downtrodden with their patience. Galatians 6:2

Help my children understand that it is impossible to go through life without problems. Keep them calm and courageous so they will see that the storms don’t control their destiny, You do. Php 1:29, Mk 6:50, Ac 27:25  

My children will set clear objectives. Their focus will reveal the deep wells of energy within them that are just waiting to be tapped. They will achieve great things today and make a difference in our world. Pr 4:25-27  

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

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. 1 Jn 3:1
