Again therefore Jesus spoke to them saying, "I am the light of the world, he who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall walk in the light of life."

John 8: 12

Dear Righteous One,
Cause my children's hearts to be drawn to Your marvelous light. Lure them with your lovingkindness, I pray. Make the dark things of this world unattractive and uninviting to their hearts and minds. Open their eyes to Your beautiful and mysterious ways.

Thou wilt make known to me the path of life; in Thy presence is fullness of joy; in Thy right hand are pleasures forever.

Psalm 16: 11

Dear Pleasure Giver,
Help my children to believe that YOUR PATH is full of JOY and ABUNDANT LIFE. I pray that You will give them a desire to walk with You each day.

And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.

Hebrews 11: 6

Dear Author and Perfecter of Faith,
I pray my children will wholeheartedly believe in Your great Name. Keep their eyes fixed on You and You alone, I pray. And as their faith grows day by day, may each of them feel Your pleasure and Your blessing.

…for you were formerly darkness, but now you are light in the Lord; walk as children of light (for the fruit of the light consist of all goodness and righteousness and truth), trying to learn what is pleasing to the Lord.

Ephesians 5: 8-10

Sweet Redeemer,
I humbly thank you for pulling my children out of the darkness and into Your light! I pray they will have a strong desire to daily walk in Your light, drawing from Your strength each step. Please give them a heart that seeks to please You, not themselves.

Peter said to Jesus, "Lord, It is good for us to be here. If you wish, I will put up three shelters - one for You, one for Moses and one for Elijah." While he was speaking a bright cloud enveloped them, and a voice from the cloud said, "This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well-pleased. Listen to Him!"

Matthew 17: 4-5

Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank You for sending Your one and only son to be the one and only Savior of the world. I pray my children would worship You alone as God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Give them ears to hear Your voice, a mind to understand Your words, and a heart to obey Your commands.

Who is a God like You, who pardons sin and forgives the transgression of the remnant of his inheritance? You do not stay angry forever but delight to show mercy. You will again have compassion on us; You will tread our sins underfoot and hurl all our iniquities into the depths of the sea.

Micah 7: 18-19

O God,
There is none like You! Thank You for Your compassion; thank You for Your grace; thank You for delighting in MERCY! Please Lord, convince my children that their sins have been demolished under your strong foot and hurled far from them by Your holy hand. May they wear no shame. Cover them, I pray.
