“My Son, see that they do not escape from your sight; comply with sound wisdom and discretion, and they will be life to your soul and adornment to your neck.” Proverbs 3:21-22, (NASV)
Oh Lord, may my children remember Your teachings and store them in their hearts for Your commands lengthens days and brings prosperity. I pray love and faithfulness will be bound around their necks and written within their hearts so they will win the favor of both You and men. May they trust You with all their hearts and lean not on their own understanding but acknowledge You in all their ways so You will keep their path straight. Help them not be wise in their own eyes but fear You and shun evil so they will know health and be nourished. In the same way, help my children honor You with their wealth, giving You the first fruits of their harvest. Make Your discipline and rebuke a joy for my children as You correct those whom You love as a father. Oh Lord, how I pray You will bless my children with wisdom and understanding so they will be blessed with prosperity, long life, riches, and honor. Make Your wisdom and understanding more precious than gold or silver, even more desirable than precious gems. Let joy and peace walk with them as they seek after You for You will bless all those who embrace Your wisdom. Oh Lord, I plead You will grant them sound judgement and discernment as adornments around their necks so they will be kept safe and not stumble. Make their sleep sweet and free of fear for You are our confidence and keep our feet from ensnarement. Oh God, help my children not withhold good but freely give of their possessions. In the same way, let them not seek to harm their neighbor nor falsely accuse others. Likewise, may they not envy the ways of violent men. Take them into Your confidence, oh Lord, and richly bless their homes, consecrating them with uprightness, righteousness, and humility. Through Your wisdom, may my children be honored, I pray.
