Weaken the power of those who oppose my child; may their influence be revealed for the foolishness that it is. May the righteousness of those who follow you seem more appealing.
May her peers prefer to follow right and true ways rather than foolishness that will lead to wickedness.
May she see what is popular in the right light, through the filter of wisdom.
May she understand that popularity that will last is the kindness in a person, and not come from following external fads or treating others in a lowly manner.

Camps
I pray today that children have opportunities to go to camps - places where they can learn about you from adults willing to share their lives and show them a great time. Places where the quiet and your nature can speak for you. Places where good is encouraged and your word is taught unashamedly.

Your Word
I pray that all these children would be educated in your word. That parents would read to them from Scripture and let your word do its work. That we wouldn't just teach values and behavior, but give them solid food - straight from Scripture - to chew on. May they know, respect and value your word and always hold their Bible as their most prized possession.

May They Thrive
I pray that my children would thrive in new experiences - that more responsibility, being on a team, adapting to changes - would all contribute to them being happy individuals.
May opportunities for growth like these not cause them too much stress, but bring them joy.
