Personal Prayer
Praise the God who loves even the little children (Lk. 18:16). Give thanks for God’s promise in Prov. 22:6 to help parents train their children in the right way. Confess any lack of love or any impatience you have experienced toward your children or others. Commit yourself to a renewed appreciation for the place children have in God’s sight. Ask for wisdom to train your children in his ways.

For Your Family and Friends
Pray for the training of covenant children in your congregation. Ask God to bless their nurture at home and in the church. Pray also for their parents.

For the Church
Pray for God’s blessing on the children’s educational programs in your congregation. Pray for the teachers in the church school and leaders of children’s clubs.

For the Kingdom
Ask God to “turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers” (Mal. 4:6) throughout his kingdom.

For People to Know Jesus
Pray that people who do not yet trust in Jesus will have a sincere desire to become children of the living God.
