Lord, Solomon said that “In the way of righteousness is life, and in its pathway there is no death” (Proverbs 12:28). He has declared out of his wisdom the rewards of the righteous man. “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled” (Matthew 5:6).
Prepare the heart of my child to be one who seeks and presses in for the righteousness of God. I understand that we cannot obtain our own righteousness but You have provided that for us by faith through Jesus.
I ask that my son come to this understanding at a very early age; to know that through faith, right standing before You is our promise. Let him hear Your calling and respond with a hunger that leads to You.
May he continue to search after You the rest of his days, renewing his passion for You every morning. Make Yourself known to him. At his every turn may he run into Your presence till he knows Your ways, Your voice, and Your Words better than he knows his own.
As a servant responds to his master, as a Bride to her Bridegroom, may my child respond to You like the need for water. As in a dry land, his body would thirst for drink; so be it for his spirit to seek for that which quenches.
May he hunger for the food of virtue; may he thirst for Your righteousness; and may he seek for that which brings him life.
In the Name of Jesus---Amen
