As parents, we're more than just caregivers; we're protectors, coaches, and cheerleaders. We have the privilege of guiding our kids and instilling in them self-worth, value and identity. What's even more significant is our capacity to proclaim God's perspective and promises over their lives.

The Bible teaches us that life and death is in the power of the tongue, so let’s use our words to release divine destiny and truth over our children.

Here are 10 power-packed verses to declare over your family!

The story of Israel is a lesson in God’s ways.He established decrees for Jacob and established the law in Israel, and he commanded our forefathers to teach them to their children.

In this way, every generation will have a living faith in the laws of life and will never forget the faithful ways of God.”
