My children will be patient and kind. They will not be irritable, rude, selfish, easily angered and will keep no record of when they have been wronged. Let me be a living example of your definition of love so they will grow in knowledge and wisdom and reveal this kind of love to future generations….

Help my children see that becoming a person of discipline has nothing to do with talent or conditions… it is about choice! As they work to reach the goals they have made for themselves, give them the spirit of practice… keep that fire of desire burning in them and the discipline needed to accomplish what…

Celebrate with me as my children skid into bed each night… exhausted, scrapped up, used up and out of gas… fill them up so they can work for You tomorrow as triumphantly as they did today! I will rejoice as my children live fully until the day You call them home. Isa 40:29, Ps 118:24

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. Dt 31:8

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…

Make my children leaders. Help them understand that the true measure of a leader isn’t getting people to work nor getting them to work hard… it is about getting them to work together. 1Sa 7:12 Nu 11:14, Ne 4:6
