Good morning, Father.

Children are an amazing gift from You.

Father, if we were honest, we would admit that there is a little rebellion in all of us. I would say that has something to do with our sin nature. With preschoolers as they grow in their love and knowledge of Christ, they begin to understand self-control. But preschoolers are a work in progress. Help me to teach my preschoolers to follow my requests without rebellion–just a baby step towards total obedience to You.

Good morning, Father.

Children are an amazing gift from You.

I remember once when my son was about three years old and learned a valuable lesson from a grocery store visit. We had just gotten home and he showed me the package of gum he had in his pocket. He thought the items by the checkout stand were free. I had never explained that these items were for sale. I took him back to the grocery and he returned the gum to the manager with an apology. It was the right thing to do.

Father, we have to teach our preschoolers valuable lessons–one being that they do not take possessions that do not belong to them. Help me and them learn that we do not take items which do not belong to us.

Good morning, Father

Children are an amazing gift from You.

Father, disagreements and arguing are common among people. As I pray for my preschoolers today, I ask that You protect them from quarrels about meaningless things. You know, like who is first in line, whose turn it is, sharing, and other common issues that relate to their age. Help me to teach them what is important and what is not.
