God Bless My Child with the Understanding of Your Word

Father, even the disciples fell short in understanding spiritual things; things not of this world, and yet, obtainable through You.  You opened their eyes to see and they believed.  

Speak to my child, too, throughout his life.  When he reads the Scripture, may he hear Your voice and cause him to respond to the Spirit of life received through Your Words.

At an early age may he desire to trade his time for Your presence.  Open his understanding as he reads each Word.  Reveal hidden treasures so he may know You more intimately.

All that he needs is found in Your Word.   May Your Words be sought like precious treasure so that in his heart will be stored a wealth of wisdom to guide him all of his days.

Thank you for giving us such a special gift in our son. While he is young I will teach him Your promises.

Grant him the ability to retain Your words in his heart and mind.  Help him to memorize your Words of truth and “to hide them in his heart...” (Psalm 119:11)  We do this for Your glory, Lord.

In the Name of Jesus---Amen
