Prayer Prompt #11: Praying 1 Timothy 4:12 for Your Children

Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.
1 Timothy 4:12

Several people in the Bible were called to or began their ministry in their youth - for example: Daniel (Daniel 1:17), David (1 Samuel 16:1-13), and Jeremiah (Jeremiah 1:4-7). Why not my child?

Dear LORD, I pray that no matter how old my children are, their age would always be an asset. From their youth, sow the character of Christ into them so that they may be Your faithful witnesses at every age.  Give them childlike faith in their youth and increase their wisdom as they grow. May they use every day to give you glory and honor through their speech, conduct, love, faith and purity. In Jesus' name, amen.
