May the Lord make my children increase, excel, and overflow in love for one another and for all people… just as I do for them! 1Th 2:14
May the Lord make my children increase, excel, and overflow in love for one another and for all people… just as I do for them! 1Th 2:14
Give my children a sense of humor and resiliency. They are a love letter from Christ to the world… and a crabby attitude to their lives is like illegible handwriting to Christ’s love letter. 2Co 3:3
Thank you for giving my children Your Word and giving me the insight to release its power into their lives. May they exercise the power of the Word in their own lives by learning to adhere to, trust in, and rely on it! 1Th 2:13
Teach my children that Christ has redeemed them from every curse of the law, including sickness and disease… that Jesus bore their sickness for them not with them.
