Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it

Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6

Merciful and loving God, thank you for loving us and teaching us the way we should go and for the hope you have given us that if we train our children in your ways, even if they depart, they will come back. I ask that you give us wisdom to guide our children, to lead them by word and example, to guide them in the path of righteousness. Most of all, I ask that your Holy Spirit guides them, O God, that they may live a life of honor and integrity, that they may be honest, respectful, courageous, forgiving, kind and loving. Keep them under your loving care and never let them go, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen.

The Lord establishes their steps

In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps. Proverbs 16:9 Almighty God in heaven, Creator and giver of all, I know that we can make all the plans we want for our lives, but only you can establish our steps, only you decide what our future holds and what is better for us. Thank you for loving us so much, for knowing the desires of our hearts and wanting the best for us, O Lord. Help us to trust in you always, to know that we can make our plans, but we need to pray and leave everything in your hands and you will do what is best for us according to your perfect will, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial

Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him. James 1:12 Mighty and wonderful God in heaven, blessed be your Name in all of the earth, thank you for your amazing promises and wonderful words of love. Help me walk the path you have for me, O Lord, help me to stay strong and firm in faith always in every situation, that I may one day receive the crown of life you have promised, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen
