My hope for my children must be that they respond to 
the still, small voice of God in their own hearts.

Dear God,

Thank you for all the ways you make my life so good. I know that sometimes I forget to be grateful, or I start to doubt whether or not you're really there, or whether you really care about what's going on in my life.  Help me stay strong in believing that there's no time you're not with me, even when I'm all stressed out or in big trouble and I feel like I'm all alone.  Let me believe with all my heart that there's absolutely nothing that can take away your love.

Dear God,

Love is probably the most beautiful thing in the universe.  I may not always feel loved or show love for others, but I can be grateful for knowing I'm always loved by you.  Thank you for all you do for me and for showing me that doing something for others is one way of letting you act through me.  Please help me to always be willing to give to others just the way you give to me.
