31 Biblical Virtues to Pray for Your Kids

I have this little pamphlet that we keep in the bathroom. It's put together by Bob Hostetler and I really like it. When I have a few minutes, I look at this list and pray for my kids. I don't do it enough, but I think this are great things to pray for them and I wanted to pass it on. It's excerpted from Pray! magazine issue #4. You can also find info. on this magazine at www.praymag.com. I'll list the virtue and a verse with it. God bless!
