Developing A Hunger For The Things Of God
Lord, I pray that You will help (name of child) to be reliable, de- pendable, responsible, compassionate, sensitive, loving, and giving to others. Deliver her (him) from any pride, laziness, slothfulness, selfishness, or lust of the flesh. I pray that she (he) will have a teachable and submissive spirit, yet be able to stand strong in her (his) convictions. I pray that she (he) will always desire to belong to a Christian church that is alive to the truth of Your Word and the power of Holy Spirit-led worship and prayer. Write your law in her (his) mind and on her (his) heart so that she (he) always walks with a confident assurance of the righteousness of Your com- mands. As she (he) learns to pray, teach her (him) to listen for Your voice. May there always be a Holy Spirit fire in her (his) heart and an unwavering desire for the things of God.
Blessed are those who keep His testimonies, who seek Him with the whole heart. PSALM 119:2
