Dear God, I pray that any suffer ing in the l ives of my chi ldren would be used to produce holy character. In my role as a mother, I desire to protect. Help me not to get in the way of Your work in my chi ldren’s l ives.
Dear God, as my chi ldren prepare for another school year, I pray that they would have strength of character so they can stand f irm against peer pressure and the devi l ’s schemes.
Dear God, I pray that my chi ldren would have hearts of compassion. May they desire to serve and meet the needs of the suffer ing and marginal ized. May they be focused on others and free from the mental i ty that “ i t ’s al l about me.”
Dear God, grant my children the wisdom to recognize Your truth and Satan’s subtle lies. I specifically pray against the following lies: “What I do on the internet is my business.” “It’s harmless and doesn’t hurt anyone.” “Beautiful girls are worth more.” “I have to perform to be loved.”
Dear God, I pray that my chi ldren would be careful with their words—not gossiping, exaggerat ing, ly ing, or speaking unkindly. I pray that their words would be pleasing to You not just out in publ ic but also in the way they speak to their fami ly members.
