From the Crosswalk.com article, "5 Powerful Prayers for Protection and Safety" Compiled & Edited by Crosswalk Editorial Staff. "Prayer for Children's Security" by Rebecca Barlow Jordan.
Lord, I pray that my kids (grandkids) will develop an eternal perspective and purpose, not an earthly one. Help them to see life–and every challenge–through Your eyes, eager and unafraid to share with others the good news of Jesus wherever they go. I pray that they will set their minds on things above, not just what’s going on here, and that they will be rooted and grounded in Your love. I pray they will come to understand the extent of Your own love for them–that it surpasses all the head knowledge they will acquire in school. I pray they will be filled up with You from morning ’til night.
