Let my children be grateful. Teach them the ‘reinforcement principle’… they get more of what they acknowledge… so that they begin to routinely thank the ones they love for even the smallest favor. They already practice common courtesy when they are in public, thanking coaches, the lunch lady, the checkout clerks… let them bring that…

Make my children confident and courageous. Take their hand and lead them to start something today that they have been putting off rather than waiting for perfect conditions to begin. Take my hand, too! Ecclesiastes 11:4; Deuteronomy 1:29-30

My children will constantly listen to and obey Jesus. This is a direct command from You! I will do the same.  Mark 9:7 

You have assured us that if we believe in You that we will be able to do the things that You do, and that we will do even greater things because You have gone to the Father. It is with this authority that I break every hold the enemy has over my children and deliver…

When facing our fears, You command us to banish all cowardice and flinching from our spirits, to not become depressed, dismayed or unnerved. Please remove any of these traits from my children so they are not blocked from entering their places of blessing. Deuteronomy 31:8

Prepare my children to grasp the glorious future you have laid before them. Make their dreams strong and clear so they will have the vision to endure the trials and obstacles that will stand in their way. Ps 105:19
