Planted by the rivers of water,
That brings forth its fruit in its season,
Whose leaf also shall not wither;
And whatever he does shall prosper.

Heavenly Father, please help these little ones to find delight in You and Your word. I pray that they will be prosperous by abiding in You. Guard them against the paths of sinners and plant them beside rivers of Living Water.
