We want our children to be like a tree planted by streams of water — strong, rooted, and bearing fruit for the sake of others.

A Prayer to be "like a tree" by Nicolet Bell

Psalm 1 reminds us that kind of life starts with delight. Delight in the Word. Meditating on it day and night. This summer, we're praying that our children would have a deep desire for God — and that starts with us.

Reference: Psalm 1

Prayer: Father, give my children a desire for you. Help them to delight in your word. Show me how to help our family meditate on it day and night. I desire for my children to be planted by streams of water, to be rooted deeply in your word, drawing refreshment from your living waters. Help them not to seek to quench their thirst in the things of this world, but to know you are the only one who satisfies our thirsty souls. Lord, in this new pace of summer, would you help us to pause and to dedicate time to meditate on your word day and night. May it become part of our rhythm as a family. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
