I pray my children put all anxiety to rest and learn to pray with grateful hearts making their requests known to You … for You promise Your peace in the hearts and minds of those who begin to trust and rely on Christ Jesus! Philippians 4:6-7

Speak tenderly to my children after You chastise them so they will be more open to receive Your forgiveness and subsequently obey Your voice. Give me a tender spirit also so my discipline will be an earthly example of the freedom that follows repentance and results in obedience. Isa 40:1-2

May the Lord make my children increase, excel, and overflow in love for one another and for all people… just as I do for them! 1Th 2:14

May my children wake up today and see only two people groups, those in Christ Jesus and those not. I pray they lavish love on both groups of people. Gal 3:28

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. Jos 2:11

Do not let my children become discouraged by their past mistakes. It’s over! Your word says that you heal the brokenhearted and bind up their wounds. Open my children’s hearts so your Spirit may pour into them and get to work. Ps 147:3
