Proverbs 15:31-32 ).
I pray that they would share their faith with others . They shall speak of the glory of your kingdom and tell of your power , to make known to the children of man your mighty deeds , and the glorious splendor of your kingdom (

I pray that when they do what is wrong , they would bear consequences that lead them to repentance . I pray that when they do what is right , you would bless their obedience that they may learn to love your ways . The backslider in heart will be filled with the fruit of his ways , and a good man will be filled with the fruit of his way (
Proverbs 14:14 ).
I pray that your Word would be on their hearts and in their minds as they learn . Whoever gives thought to the word will discover good , and blessed is he who trusts in the LORD (
Proverbs 16:20 ).
I pray that they would be kind to others . Whoever pursues righteousness and kindness will find life , righteousness , and honor . (
Proverbs 21:21 )
I pray that you would give them the grace of self-control . A man without self-control is like a city broken into and left without walls
( Proverbs 25:28 ).
Lord , I pray that your grace would rest upon my children . Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us , and establish the work of our hands upon us ; yes , establish the work of our hands ! (
Psalms 90:17 )
I pray that you would protect them from all evil . I lift up my eyes to the hills . From where does my help come ? My help comes from the LORD , who made heaven and earth . The LORD will keep you from all evil ; he will keep your life (
Psalm 121:1-2,7 ).
More than anything else , may their lives glorify you . I give thanks to you , O Lord my God , with my whole heart , and I will glorify your name forever (
Psalm 86:12 ).
O Lord , hear our prayers ! Amen .
