We are commanded by Jesus Christ not to worry. Most of the trouble my children fear will never happen… worry is simply Satan’s tool to steal their day… and eventually their life! Mt 6:25

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

Let me be a shining example for my children of a life well lived. Give me Your wisdom and the strength to live by it… my children are watching. What I do means far more than what I say. The Bible holds thousands of promises for my children but they must stay the course in…

You planted my children in the garden of their lives. Show them their role in tending that garden… that everything they need is there, but they must work it and take care of it to produce fruit. You give my children all the resources, but they must do their part! Ge 2:8, 2:15

Help my children understand that many are called to God but few are chosen. They must put on the robe of righteousness when presenting themselves before God. Show them that Jesus Christ is that robe and then help dress them for the rest of their lives in Your eternal garment. Mt 22:14

The seeds have been planted! My children have talents they haven’t discovered and dreams that haven’t been filled. Give them the faith and patience to know they are evolving… to keep them humble in seasons of great harvest… and strong in times of lack. Gen. 2:8
