God Bless My Child With A Good Outlook On Life

Father, bless my child with a hope filled life; may he have a constant lookout for the best as a child of God. I want him to be full of great expectations when he wakes up in the mornings. I want him to understand the promises in Your Word are for him.

Develop within him positive characteristics to carry him through life. Place in the forefront of these characteristics --- hope. Build within him evidence of this unseen strength.

As people talk to him may this attitude be contagious. When he speaks, let people hear the confidence he has in You to secure his future.

Grant him peace on his journey. When the fog rolls in and shortens the distance of vision, his outlook will remain unchanged. Set his gaze on You.

Secure his hope to never be less than what You are able to accomplish.

Paul said, “I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 3:14) Fix his sights on the goal and encourage his mindset to be finishing the race with an untiring confident trust in His God.

In the Name of Jesus ---Amen

God Bless My Child With A Fulfilling Life

Lord, so many people are looking for a sense of fulfillment. They look for it in their jobs, their families, charities, church, recreation. But we know it is only found in a growing relationship with You.

 At an early age may my son accept You as the Lord of his life. Thank you for the peace of completeness that comes from You living in us. Grow in him, interact with Your child and may he acquaint himself with His very personal Creator and Savior.

 Father, I want my son to set his hands only on that which You have planned for him. Knowing he is fulfilling Your desires will bring satisfaction to his heart.  

Help him to not waste effort doing what does not receive Your blessing.  May he set goals to pursue; always pressing ahead with new plans and ideas.  May he rest in these accomplishments led by You.

 May he find reward in a good days work and in the love of his family.  Bless him, Lord, each day with a sense of completeness and peace as he lays his head on his pillow each night.

 Give Him a listening ear.  Grant him understanding when he hears Your voice.

 Help him to be obedient above all and to set his heart on things above and not on this earth, fully trusting Your Words.

 In the Name of Jesus---Amen
