"Lord I pray that our children be given the gift of joy. Let the spirit of joy rise up in their heart this day and may they know the fullness of joy that is found in Your presence. Help them to understand the at true happiness and joy are found in You.
Whenever they are taken by negative emotions, surround them with Your love. Teach them to say, "This is the day that the Lord has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it" (Psalm 118:24). May they decide in their hearts, "My soul shall be joyful in the Lord; it shall rejoice in His salvation" (Psalm 35:9). Plant Your Word firmly in their hearts and increase their faith daily. Enable them to abide in Your love and derive strength from the joy of the Lord this day and forever.
