31) A Heart For The Lost: Then Jesus told them this parable: Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Does he not leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? Luke 15:3-4
"Lord, help my children to have the heart of a shepherd and to have concern for those who don't know you."
30) Gratitude: So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness. Colossians 2:6-7
"Lord, help my children to know and to practice real gratitude."
29) Prayerfulness: Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. Philippians 4:6
"Lord, teach my children the value and attitude of prayer. Help them to experience your peace as they bring their requests to you."
Wanna hear something funny? I don’t know about you, but I’m getting the feeling I need some of these prayers more than my children!! (On second thought, maybe that's not so funny!)
So, guess what? Yup, you guessed it. I’m now praying them for me too.
25) Hope: "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13
"Lord, give my children peace, joy and hope as they trust in you. May your Holy Spirit fill them up and overflow in them."
24) The Heart of a Servant: Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another's feet. I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you. John 13:14-15
"God, help my children to see the example of Christ and follow it."
