A Journey of Prayer for my Children


















Day 2 Kindness... is having a sensitive spirit toward others.

Proverbs 14:21
He who despises his neighbor sins, but blessed is he who is kind to the needy.

Father; as they see those around him need (physical, emotional, or spiritual need), may their hearts be touched.
Give them a desire to help others.
May they realize that it is a sin to hate his neighbor; but being kind to those in need will bring happiness.

Acts 20:35
... remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.'

Lord Jesus, may they recognize the value of being kind.
I pray that they will experience the blessing that comes with giving.

Proverbs 15:1
A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.

Gentle Father; cause them to learn to respond to the anger of another with a gentle answer.
Open the eyes of both to see that the gentleness and kindness of speech can do far more than an unkind word to stop another person's anger.

Lord I pray that I will speak kindly.
Help me to set these actions into my own life.
I am humbled at this moment with how inadequate I am as a fallen woman.
Redeem my failing dear Lord.
