Lord, please reveal to my children the areas of their lives that displease You. Give them a wholesome dread of displeasing You so they will choose obedience. In doing so, they will release the power of Your blessings over their lives. Ps 25:11-14

We are created to believe the best in every person. My children do, but they forget the most important part… ALL the time! Especially when someone is annoying them, may my children STOP and focus on the positive attributes. 1 Cor 13:7

My children will not have the kind of faith that allows them to be lazy or apathetic while waiting on the Lord. They will use all that has been given to them to do all that they can … then trust God to do the rest. Proverbs 16:9

My children will smile today when they think of You. They will spontaneously do something nice for someone else as they are reminded of how much You have already done for them. John 4:23

I want to be a good example for my children. Help me undedstand that true joy and peace are directly tied to my faith. If I want more joy, or more peace … I must simply ask You for more faith. Just as eating pie brings a smile to my face, asking for more faith…
