Lord, Help me represent you to my children

Your Love, is patient, kind, and gentle

Your instruction is effective for teaching

Your goodness is generous, discerning,

and rewarding for proper behavior,

Your correction is firm and effective,

Your Wisdom is peaceable, and insightful.

Make me more like YOU

that I may teach them to grow

in their relationship with you

and in their respect and love for me.

In Jesus' Name, Amen
