Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward.
Psalm 127:3

Pray that God will bless this generation of children, that they will come to know Jesus early in life and follow Him always.

Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
Romans 5:2

Pray that as people place their faith in Christ, they will rejoice in the hope of glory and be in awe of God's mercy that gives them access to Him through faith.

The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
John 1:5

Pray that when discouraging days come, those who cross cultures for the sake of the gospel will be comforted as they remember that the light of Christ is stronger than the darkness that surrounds them.
