I can't take credit for this splendid idea. I am copying a sweet mom that I'll probably never have the
privilege to meet. You can check out Angie's amazing Blog at

1. When they
wake up: "Let the
morning bring Cameron and Ben word of your unfailing love, for they have put their trust in You. Show them the way they should go, for to you they lift up their souls." (Adapted from Psalm 143:8)
2. When they are
getting dressed: "Therefore, as God's chosen children, holy and dearly loved,
clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Lord, help them bear with others and forgive whatever grievances they have against others. Help them forgive as the Lord forgave them. And over all these virtues, help them put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity." (Adapted from
Colossians 3:12-14)
3. While they are
eating: "Teach Cameron and Ben the secret of being content in any and every situation whether
well-fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. Teach them that they can do everything through him who gives them strength." (Adapted from Philippians 4:12-13)
4. When they
go out of the house: "Cameron and Ben, do not conform any longer to the
pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is-His good, pleasing and perfect will." (Adapted from Romans 12:2)
5. While they are
taking a bath: Lord, give Cameron and Ben
clean hands and pure hearts, and let them not lift their souls to an idol or swear by what is false. Let them receive blessings from the Lord and vindication from God their Savior. Let them be part of the generation of those who seek him, who seek your face, O God of Jacob. (Adapted from Psalm 24:4-6)
6. When they are
going to bed: "The Lord Your God is with you; he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you,
he will quiet you with his love, be will rejoice over you with singing." (Zephaniah 3:17)
7. While they are
sleeping: "I pray that Benjamin and Cameron will do everything without complaining or arguing, so that they may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which they
shine like stars in the universe as they hold out the word of life-in order that they may boast on the day of Christ that they did not run or labor for nothing." (Adapted from Philippians 2:14-16)
