16 Things to Pray For Your Children

So I was frantically going thru my kids school stuff - trying to find something that is due next week and I totally forgot about - and I came across something Abby’s preschool teacher gave me and I can’t believe I forgot about it! I am sooo thankful for the solid Christian foundation my kids are getting a cry every time I think of the fact that we will not be able to continue them at GCA next year. But anyways that is off the subject - wow I tend to do that sometimes! Ms. Beth, as Abby calls her, gave me a list of 16 things to pray over your children with verses and I just thought it was such a great thing that I wanted to share, so here it is:

1. For their salvation (Heb. 2:3 & Phil 2:12)
2. For their future mate (Prov. 31:10-31)
3 That they will fall in love with God’s Word (Ps. 119:97-165)
4. That God would keep them from the evil one (Jn 17:15)
5. that they will have a conscience void of offense before God and Man
(Acts 24:16 & I Tim. 1:5,19)
