Perspective

I pray today for proper perspective - not that they are the most important person in the world, but that they are their own best teacher.  They will turn out to be what they see themselves as.  May they aspire to be kind, nice, and influential for good, rather than rich, powerful, and popular.  May they not see their world as unfair, but instead decide how to live in light of their circumstances.

Treating Others Well

May each of these children I love seek to treat people well out of a sense that that is what is right, and not our of a selfish desire for popularity.

May they understand that true beauty and real character comes from how your are on the inside, not how you look on the outside.

According to Your Promises

May my child be pure in heart, a peacemaker, merciful, and may she hunger and thirst for righteousness.

May she, according to your promises, see you, be called your child, be shown mercy, and be filled.

(Matthew 5:3-10)
