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!
