Good morning, Father

Children are a gift–an amazing blessing from You. As a BBC teacher, mentor, parent, grandparent, aunt, or uncle, you have the power to make a difference in their precious lives through prayer.

Choices. Preschoolers are always making choices. Considering their young age, they need guidance as they grow and develop. A child has so many choices to make: What activity do I go to? Do I finish what I started? Do I jump in front of someone in the line to go outside? Do I push the person who took away my block? Do I get mad when I do not get to go first? Can I be a friend to someone who is lonely?  Decisions, decisions, decisions.

Father, give your children wisdom and direction in making decisions. Teach them to listen closely to Your voice, so that they will obey Your Word, and desire right choices. Help me to guide and train them in the way they should go.  (James 1:5; Psalm 37:1; Proverbs 3:5-6)

Father, as You designed, walking is a healthy activity, good for our body. But we must be aware of the paths that our walks take us. As I pray for my preschoolers, I am thinking about the paths that they could possibly choose to walk down. It is my heart’s desire that they walk faithfully and diligently in God’s ways. I am asking God to make their footsteps firm, that His Word will be a lamp for their feet and a light to their path. Sounds like the only path to walk! (Psalm 119:105; Psalm 37:23)

Peer pressure–that is a hard one. Whether you are the preschooler or the parent, influences of the world tell them to “fit in.” Father, today I pray that the preschoolers I  influence and the parents I encounter will have a strong desire to live a life of pleasing You. May I demonstrate and encourage others to seek security and value in You alone and not people or things. (Proverbs 29:25; 1 Thessalonians 2:4; 1 John 2:15-17)

Father, I pray that Your children would walk in honesty and integrity. At an early age, build in them deep godliness, that they would be more concerned about their characters than their reputations. Show me how to teach what this means with my words and actions. May they always bring honor to You throughout their lives. (Psalm 25:21; Proverbs 10:9; Psalm 119:32)
