  Speaker 1: I am Sherry Knacky, and it's time for us to
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: go to God in prayer. And as always, I invite
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: you to join along with me in prayer. And one
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: of the things I've always prayed over my children is
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: for godly friends and influences in their lives. With Sometimes
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: we don't realize we're the biggest influence in our children's lives,
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: So we've got to be careful of how we act
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: and live and conduct ourselves in front of them. Heavenly Father,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: we come before you with grateful yet humbled hearts, lifting
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: up our children and our grandchildren to you. They are
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: gifts God, and we know it. They are arrows in
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: our hands. They are watching, they are listening. They're absorbing
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: more than we sometimes realize. So Lord, surround our youth
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: with godly friends and righteous influences. Send companions who sharpen
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: their character, not dull their conviction. Place them in circles
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: where integrity is honored, parity is valued, kindness is normal,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: and faith is not mocked but celebrated. Guard their ears
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: God from voices that distort truth, Guard their eyes from
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: images that confuse identity. Guard their hearts from influences that
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: normalize compromise in a world full of noise, Let them
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: recognize your voice above all others. Father, we raise up
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: powerful positive voices around them, family members who speak life,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: teachers who model wisdom, coaches who demonstrate discipline, pastors and
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: mentors who reflect your heart. God, let authority in their
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: lives be safe, be healthy, and be grounded in love.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Where leadership has failed in society, let your spirit raise
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: up leaders who lead with righteousness and compassion. And Lord,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: we pause and we ask for forgiveness. God, forgive us
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: for the times we miss the mark. Forgive us for
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: the moments our words did not reflect your grace. Forgive
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: us for the attitudes, the reactions, and the behaviors that
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: may have planted confusion instead of clarity. Forgive us for
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: when we were distracted, impatient, harsh, or inconsistent. If we
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: have ever been the wrong example in front of them,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Heal what may have harmed, Correct what we may have misrepresented. God,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: cover what we fail to model. Help us understand the
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: weight God of our influence. Remind us that little eyes
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: are watching how we handle conflict. Little ears are listening
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: to how we speak about others. Young hearts are learning
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: from how we respond to pressure, disappointment, and yes, even success.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Teach us to live what we preach. Teach us to
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: apologize when we're wrong. Teach us to show them what
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: repentance looks like, what humility looks like, what forgiveness looks like.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Let our homes be training grounds for faith. Let our
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: conversations plant seeds of wisdom. Let our daily lives reflect
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: consistency between Sunday worship Monday living. God give us courage
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: to set boundaries, patience to explain truth, and desernment to
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: recognize unhealthy influences. Early, help us not to parent or
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: mentor from fear, but from faith, not from anger, but
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: from love. Lord, ignight in our youth a hunger for You.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Let them desire friendships that strengthen their walk. Let them
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: choose influences that align with purpose. Let them become leaders
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: who stand firm when others bout out and God. Let us,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: the adults in their lives, carry our responsibility with reference.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Let our actions preach louder than our words. Let our
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: characters speak even when we're silence. Cover our children, God,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: cover and God our grandchildren shape us into the examples
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: they deserve. God, we place this generation this next generation
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: God into your hands, and we surrender ourselves to be
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: vessels that you can use in Jesus' name. Amen. Amen,
