Day 21 of 31 Ways to Pray for my Children

DAY 21- RESPONSIBILITY “Grant that they may learn responsibility, ‘for each of you should carry your own load’”.

For each one will bear his own load. Galatians 6:5 (NASB)

Heavenly Father, I pray that You would give my children and grandchildren a sense of responsibility. Give them a sense of responsibility, so that they may never waste the gifts which You have given to each of them; a sense of responsibility to their teachers, so that all their patient teaching of them may not go for nothing; and a sense of responsibility to their jobs, that they would not take them for granted, but that they would have a good work ethic and work hard using the talents and abilities You have given them.
A sense of responsibility to their friends, so that they may never disappoint them; a sense of responsibility to those who have gone before them, so that they may never forget what our freedom and liberty cost. A sense of responsibility to the world, so that they may put into life more than they take out. Most importantly a sense of responsibility to You Lord, so that they may always remember that You loved them so much that you gave your only begotten Son for each of us!
