Tae's bookmark

I got my information packet on my newest correspondence sponsorship today (that's where you write letters and pray for a kid but you don't actually pay the money, like in a "real" sponsorship.) The new information packets that Compassion sends out are pretty neat- instead of a folder, you get a little booklet, and included in there are a few perforated pictures of your sponsor child. One of those pictures is on a bookmark, and on the back of the bookmark is a list of suggestions for how to pray for your sponsor child every day of the month. The list was pretty neat, so I thought I'd post it here.

1. To accept Jesus as Savior and to grow in Christ
2. To trust God for everything
3. To do well in school
4. For the Compassion center leaders
5. For his (or her) family
6. To resist negative peer pressure
7. To learn good hygiene practices
8. For good nutrition
9. For strong friendships
10. To develop a tender heart
11. To learn God's word
12. For protection from natural disasters
13. To use good social skills
14. For a bright future
15. To develop his (or her) skills and talents
16. To learn from the center programs
17. To make wise decisions
18. For safety in daily activities
19. For freedom from fear
20. For patience and perseverance
21. To resist temptation
22. To always tell the truth
23. For the desire to follow God's will
24. For good sibling relationships
25. For physical health and strength
26. To honor his (or her) parents
27. For a spirit of hope and joy
28. To grow closer to God in prayer
29. For comfort in sadness
30. For stability for his (or her) family
31. For solid self-esteem

I think that those are good things to pray for for any child. I'm blessed to have the opportunity to impact the life of someone who lives so far away. I love my sponsor kids!
