You have given my children the exact tools to tackle today. I pray their minds stay present and focused on living today like it was the most important day of their lives… for tomorrow You will give them what they need to tackle tomorrow. It is irrelevant that they may not have today what it…

The next time my children are offered an invitation to a pity party, their own or to that of a friend, I pray they turn it down. Let them become so filled with gratitude for all the good in their lives and may their eyesight become so sharp that they are able to point out…

Give my children the heart to protect your creation. They have dominion over the works of your hands and all things have been put under their feet. Make them aware of how precious and important they are in this world. Ps 8:6

Prayer is more than a string of words or a list of requests; it is the act of intimacy with God. Coming into intimacy with You is the principal purpose of prayer. Let my children experience Your amazing presence through their prayers so they will know the power of keeping those lines of communication open….

Build strong character in my children by teaching them the importance of self discipline. Their greatest victories will be their internal ones. They will set their standards high by following the example of the spiritual strength and character needed to accomplish great things for You. Pr 16:32, Mt 16:24  

Help my children do what they should so they may enjoy the personal satisfaction of having done their work well. They are responsible for their own conduct and don’t need to compare themselves to anyone else. Gal 6:4-5
