Safeguard their minds from harmful influences and their hearts from any hurt. Surround them with positive role models and loving friends who support and uplift them. May they walk in paths of righteousness, and may their lives be filled with joy, love, and peace.<\/p>\n<p>Lord, I also pray for us as parents, guardians, and mentors.
