Back to school prayers for your children:
\n(Continued from last week)<\/em><\/p>\n

4. For feet that run away from evil and towards <\/span>righteousness (II Timothy 2:22)<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Teach (child\u2019s name) that running is good, Lord. Help him <\/span>develop early the habit of running from youthful lusts. Give <\/span>him the spiritual eyes to spot ungodly desires in his own <\/span>heart early… and quicken His heart to run away from those <\/span>things that would stimulate it. Allow (child\u2019s name) to run <\/span>after righteousness, faithfulness, love for You and others, <\/span>and peace. And Lord, please help (child\u2019s name) make <\/span>godly choices when it comes to friends. Send him godly <\/span>friends who call on Your name and whose hearts are pure. <\/span>Like Daniel had godly friends in his life, so allow (child\u2019s <\/span>name) to have godly friends in his.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. For a godly impact and influence <\/span>(Philippians 1:14<\/span>–<\/span>15)<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Lord, this is certainly an evil and perverse world that our <\/span>children are growing up in. We need the next generation to <\/span>rise up and proclaim Your excellencies, shine Your light, <\/span>proclaim Your truth, and stand for righteousness. I pray that <\/span>(child\u2019s name) will be a bright light in a dark world. One of <\/span>the chief ways that is done is by refraining from grumbling, <\/span>complaining, and arguing. I pray I would be an example to <\/span>him\/her in this and pray (child\u2019s name) will not have an <\/span>argumentative spirit but a humble one, a teachable one. I <\/span>pray for (child\u2019s name) and their siblings to be kind and <\/span>tenderhearted towards one another. Jesus, help the <\/span>atmosphere of our home be one of love, joy, and peace… <\/span>full of Christ! Let us shine like diamonds in the darkness.<\/span>(Adapted from Arabah Joy).<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
