A Praying Heart

I have found comfort in these prayers over my son. Maybe you might in a similar situation with your children...

Give Richie a wise and discerning heart so that he can distinguish between right and wrong.
~1 Kings 3:9, 12

Set guard over Richie's mouth; keep watch over the door of his lips. Do not let his heart be drawn to what is wrong. Keep him from those who delight in making bad choices.
~Psalms 141:3-4

Guide Richie's heart away from complaining and arguing.
~Philippians 2:14

May the words of his mouth and the actions of his heart be pleasing in your sight.
~Psalms 19:4

Help Richie to pay close attention to your words with an obedient heart.
~Proverbs 4:20

Direct Richie to obey his parents and his teacher for this is right.
~Ephesians 6:1
