Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom. (James 3:13)
Dear Father,
I pray that you give many gifts and talents to these children and grow in them the desire to use them for your glory. But in using the gifts you give them, they will receive the praise of men. I do think some of that is a blessing from you for following your will, but it is easy for that to go to one's head and for us to think more highly of ourselves than we ought. I pray that these children always keep a healthy perspective of the Source of their gifts and talents so that they can say, without false modesty, that they are only using what you have given them.
Amen
