I pray today for the other adults in our children's lives. May the people in positions of authority over them treat them with respect and love and teach them your values. May they never harm their spirits, but encourage and build them up.

Like Me
This child will turn out like me.
I need to reflect you and be like you so that she will turn out like you.

Like Children
Lord, you said it was those like little children, in a humble place, who would enter the kingdom. May our children, with their natural curiosity and faith, find you now, before cynicism and other opinions take root and make it harder to change. May we see an example to follow in our children, and not just hurry them to grow up and be like us.

Standing Strong
Lord, I pray you'd help my child find a balance between not wanting to be ridiculed for her faith and standing strong in her love for you. May she never choose to deny or be ashamed of her faith. May she view you and your opinion as far more important than that of her friends.

Grandparents
I pray today for grandparents everywhere to realize the powerful influence they can have on their grandchildren, and that they would be intentional about teaching about you, instilling values and helping children have a healthy view of themselves.
Bless the grandparents and give them strength and boldness for this task.

Older & Younger
Even now, Lord, may my child know the importance of having friends who are older and friends who are younger.
People to watch and learn from, and people to set an example to.
May she have mentors worth following and may they be aware of their responsibility in her life. May she understand that those who follow her are given by God for her to love and be kind to.

My Influence
I pray Lord, that I would follow your guidance and correct the bad habits and practices in my life before I pass them on to her.
I want to give her a godly example rather than a flawed one.
