The Gift of Motherhood: Raising the Next Generation of Believers - A Nighttime Prayer

Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.

— Deuteronomy 6:4-9 (NIV)

Please Pray

Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for the unconditional love you give your children. Help me to lead with love in my relationships with my kids, family, and friends. May I walk by the Spirit and bear your fruits, so that I may teach and train up my children in the way they should go. I know you love my children infinitely. Help me to release control, trust you with their paths, and bring everything to you in prayer. Let them be curious and in awe of your mighty ways. Give my children hearts that are aligned with your will. I pray that one day they will share the love of Christ with their children. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
