All scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It straightens us out and teaches us to do what is right. Scripture is God’s way of preparing us in every way, fully equipped for every good thing God…

Do not let my children value what is worthy by the measure of this world. They will not fear displeasing their peers and being left out of certain circles, rather, they will develop a wholesome dread of displeasing You. Is 8:12-13  

Give my children a hunger for Your word. Place them under the care of teachers and spiritual leaders who are strong Christians so they may further grow in truth. Expose false teachers sent by the enemy to shift their focus and energy to unworthy things. Keep them on guard so they don’t find themselves valuing…

Help my children to listen to Your word and obey it. They will show others the goodness of God for You called them out of the darkness and into Your wonderful light. 1Pe 2:8-9

Let my children rejoice in triumph of their everyday battles and not become weary… it is a sign that God is preparing them for greater battles that will not only result in rich blessing for their own lives but eventually advance the Kingdom of Heaven. 1Sa 17:37

I pray that at some point in this day I will have the opportunity to teach my children that good and evil are both present in each of our hearts … and that whichever we choose to feed is the one we will become. Romans 12:21
