Praying for my children...

Into thy hands I offer the mind, body, and spirit of Julianna and Rachel, asking that you raise them in the way you have created them to go. Guide my children away from all things and people that are not aligned with your will. Protect them from things and people that may harm them or lead them away from you.

Remove from my children's mind all shadows of fear, doubt, anger, resentment that could cloud their mind or harden their hearts. Open my children's eyes to see and know danger and give them strength to walk away from and courage to resist all temptations. I pray that they will honor their body as your divine temple, cherish the power of the mind you have given them, use their gifts and talents wisely, soften their heart with kindness and compassion, know your love, feel and express your love at all times under all circumstances. I pray that they draw close to you. Drive away from them patterns of thought and behavior not productive, honorable, healthy, or loving. Bless them with your grace and light. Teach them your ways and guide them to make your ways their priority. Teach me to speak and to honor their spirit and to encourage them to do good at all times. Help me not to take them for granted. Bless them with your bond of love, joy, harmony, respect, and kindness that cannot be broken.

minds-May you clear all shadows of doubt; give them courage and strength to do your will.
hearts-Thank you for loving them more than I can; Help me to love them when they feel hurt, fear, or not strong enough to love themselves.
dreams-May they be aligned to your will and fulfilled by your grace. I pray that you sustain them in difficult experiences and purify their every desire.
I pray that you bless them with health and strength, lift them from harm, and steer them away from danger.

In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.
