may he love You above all else

You are blessing us, Lord, with the opportunity to raise one of your sweet babies in the goodness and knowledge of your Word, so we ask that you give us wisdom necessary to instill in Sam your precious truths.  As we teach him, Lord, grant him understanding of your Word and character.  We pray that he will fall completely and totally in love with you as his Savior, that he he'll hide your word in his heart, and that he'll live in such a way that he points others to the cross.  May his desire be to serve you all the days of his life, and may his heart always be open to your leading. ~amen~
