Ward Virtues Prayer & Family Virtues

Prayer for growth and character

Lord, as I grow older...

I pray that I may be known by the shape of my character, the fruit of my choices, and the way I love the people around me.

May these words be less of a checklist and more of a direction for a faithful life.

Prayer & Family Virtues

Prayer for Growth & Character is adapted and revised from a prayer by John C. Maxwell in Developing the Leader Within You 2.0.

Ward Family Virtues were inspired by the family-values reflection in Lead Like Jesus Revisited and encouraged by Mark Deterding's servant-leadership work in Leading Jesus' Way.
