When my children feel trapped and alone along the path You set before them, tell them to fear not and stand firm, confident and undismayed. You promised to fight for them so they will not lose their peace as they rest in the comfort of Your embrace… like a small child in his father’s arms….

Work in my children; give them the desire to obey You and the power to do what pleases You. Philippians 2:13

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 John 3:1

My children already possess everything they need to accomplish what they were sent to do. I pray they open their eyes and their hearts to the will of God and learn their mission … for they are equipped with the perfect tools to arrive at their destination … not anyone else’s. 1 Peter 1:3-4

As my children mature allow me to give them the dignity of making more and more of their own mistakes and then letting them learn from those experiences. They belong to You not me… keep me from hindering You from working in their lives by over parenting. Ro 12:16, 14:3

When my children recognize they are worrying about something, prompt them to repent then turn to You in gratitude for what they already have… and prayer to strengthen and prepare them for the task at hand. Php. 4:6
