Praying for our children

I am blessed to be the dad of three beautiful and wonderful girls. It is a huge privilege and responsibility being a parent.

I love my girls dearly and I want what is best for them but I know that I can not raise my girls on my own.  On my own I will fall short.

Yes, God has blessed me with a great wife but even the two of us can’t do it fully together. We need God’s help and the best way to seek God’s help is through prayer.

What I pray for my girls:

• They would know God’s love for them and His desire to have a relationship with them.
• They would grow and mature in their relationship with God.
• They would be salt and light to those around them.
• God would protect them physically and spiritually.
• They would be leaders among their friends in doing what is right
• They wouldn’t be followers of the crowd.
• They would be respectful and kind to all that they come in contact with.
• They would always do their best in whatever they are doing.

What I pray for myself and Lauren as we seek to be the best parents that we can be:

• We would have wisdom and patience.
• We would be sensitive to the unique needs and personalities of our girls.
• We would love our girls unconditionally.
• We would be positive examples.
• Our girls would see our love for God in our lives.

What are some of the things that you pray for your children and for yourself as a parent?
