Day 1

Proverbs 1:7–9

A Prayer for Wisdom

I was not raised in a Christian home; I was raised in a religion that believed in God and good morals, prayer, and weekly confessions—nothing wrong with that. My mother was a woman who believed in God and took us to church, and we followed the teachings of that religion.

Whatever God needed to refine in my life, as I gave myself to Him, He gave me the grace and wisdom to do what I needed to do as a mother, no matter the season of life I was in.

Declaration

I declare that my daughter’s thoughts are submitted to You, and I declare that she walks in humility and not pride.

Day 2

Proverbs 2:7–8; Psalm 84:11

Living Upright

There are consequences for every decision we make, good or bad. I remember being afraid for my daughters to live a life so out of control. The world seemed to offer them so much, and it did not all look good. I did not want
