Verses to Pray...for your children or your friends children (and yourself too I suppose)

I got this from my friends blog and think it's an awesome way to incorporate scripture into your daily life for your children. I want to be able to have scripture verses to back up what I teach my kids, starting now, even though they don't understand me yet. I'll hopefully get into a habit of it.

Day 1- SALVATION
Lord, I pray you will bring my children to "obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory" (2 Tim. 2:10)

Day 2- GROWTH IN GRACE
I pray that my children may "grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ" (2 Peter 3:18)

Day 3- LOVE
May my children "walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us" (Ephesians 5:2)

Day 4- PURITY
Grant, O God, the grace and strength needed for my child to "keep (himself) pure" and to "flee youthful lusts" (1 Timothy 5:22, 2 Timothy 2:22)

Day 5- LOVE FOR PARENTS
God, I pray for love and harmony in our family. I ask especially that You would "turn the heart of the fathers to the children and the heart of the children to their fathers" (Malachi 4:6)

Day 7- MERCY
In this hard-hearted and self-centered culture, I pray for my child that he might value the needs of others and blessings which result from doing so. You have promised "blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy." I pray that blessing for him. (Matthew 5:7)

Day 8- LOVE FOR GOD'S WORD
May my children grow to love God's Word and to find it more desirable than "much fine gold:sweeter than honey and the honeycomb" (Ps. 19:10)

Day 9- LOVE FOR GOD
Lead my child deeper and deeper into a loving relationship with You, O God. May he "love the Lord with all his heart, with all his soul, and with all his mind, and with all his strength" Instill in my child a soul that "follows hard after You" and clings passionately to You. (Matt. 22:37, Ps. 63:8)

Day 10- CHOICE OF LIFE MATE
May the "Lord God of heaven send his angel before (my child)", and direct his paths to Your choice of a mate, so we too can say "the matter comes from the Lord...the Lord has spoken" (Gen 24:7,50-51).
