Dear Lord, You have promised that You are a shield for those who live righteously. I pray that my children will be Your honest and faithful servants.

Give my children the courage to speak honestly and behave honorably. Let them discover Your truth, and let them walk righteously with You today, tomorrow, and every day of their lives.

Amen.
