Good morning, Father.

During 2017 help me to be faithful in my prayer walk. It is most important that we who serve preschoolers remember to pray for the next generation. Teach me how to pray blessings for these children and their families.

Father, as You know, we as people do not always get along. It is true for adults but more often is noticed in preschoolers. They have just not learned the social skills necessary to handle life, to think through situations, or to move from “me” and “mine” to looking after the welfare of another. So I am asking that You help them to learn compassion–a heart that mirrors Yours in the daily living of life, even at an early age.

“Therefore, God’s chosen ones, holy and loved, put on heartfelt compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.” (Colossians 3:12, HCSB)

In the powerful name of Jesus, the exact representation of His being,

Good morning, Father.

During 2017 help me to be faithful in my prayer walk. It is most important that we who serve preschoolers remember to pray for the next generation. Teach me how to pray blessings for these children and their families.

I love teaching preschoolers, especially Bible stories. Their simple childlike faith shown in their faces as they listen reveals hearts open to the gospel, and I am overwhelmed with this honor of sharing. My four-year-olds who are turning five, love the story of Jesus and the little children found in Mark 10:13-16. We begin the story by pretending to get ready because Jesus is coming! We act out getting dressed, combing our hair, eating breakfast, brushing our teeth and then off we go to see Jesus. But it is crowded and we can’t see Jesus. Even His disciples prevent us from getting close. But Jesus says, “Let the little children come to Me” (Mark 10:14). And we are overjoyed!

To receive Jesus’ blessing, touch, laughter, and nearness leaves you never the same. Always better! Are there children you need to bring to Jesus? Little ones, adults, or what about yourself? No matter what age, there is strength in the arms of Jesus. Remember that He cares about you and loves you unconditionally. He wants you to trust Him. Bring to Him in prayer your little ones, your adult children, or yourself. Do it now and do it often. Jesus always says, “Let the children come to Me!”

Righteousness is being made right with God through Jesus. Simple. As I think of these preschoolers, I pray that they will bury the truth about Jesus in their hearts and choose to be a part of His forever family by faith at the right age. Father, guide these children to learn life skills such as sharing; taking turns; and being kind, helpful, and honest. Being a preschooler can be a lot about me and mine. Help them grow to think of others, and help me speak positive words that will bring forth fruit of Your character.

“When the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all the truth.” (John 16:13, HCSB)

In the powerful name of Jesus, He who searches hearts and minds.

Father, thank you for choosing me to work with preschoolers. I desire to be an example of Jesus to all those I encounter and serve at Brentwood Baptist Church. Father, as my preschoolers and their families are out and about playing organized sports or just playing in their yards, may they attract others to You. It is Your truth and righteousness that makes us attractive. Help us to draw others to You as we live, work, and play.

“Follow Me,” Jesus told them, “and I will make you fish for people!” (Mark 1:17,  HCSB)

In the powerful name of Jesus, faithful and true witness,
