Give my children the kind of faith that will give them the patience to wait for everything good that they want. Let them delight in and celebrate You so that You will give them the desires of their heart. Ps 37:4,7

Let my children hear the instruction of their father and not reject the teaching of their mother. Pr 1:8

You know what you are doing. You have it all planned out. Plans to take care of my children, not abandon them. Plans to give them the future they hope for. When they call on You, when they come and pray to You, You will listen. When they come looking for You, You’ll find them….

Surround my children with people who celebrate and worship You. May they love and be kind to all people, especially those who don’t know You… keep them from adopting the ways of those who do not trust You… so they do not fall victim to the enemy. Jos 23:14

This world has powerful pulls of deception working to distance us from our maker… strengthen my children’s faith so they will stand firm. Dt 29:19-20

My children have made a difference in my life, just be being who they are. Help them make a lasting difference in the lives they touch. Develop their character… help them become the kind of people who put others first and fight for truth. Let their lives be an example for others… even after they…
