“You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures.”
Confession:
Lord, when I pray Your Spirit shows me what to ask for.
I am not selfish by praying only for things I want.
My prayers are for the lives and needs of others, too.
I know that when I’m thinking of You first,
and remembering others with love,
You will give me all the things I really need.
I will receive, because I want what You want!

Virginia Kite was educated at James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia, and taught in Virginia Public Schools for 12 years prior to her marriage. She and her husband, Ron, attended Bible College together and, since 1979, have served in many capacities of national and international ministry. They have raised two nieces and are the parents of one son.
A love for the truth and faithfulness of God's Word was birthed in "Ginny" as a young child, through daily Bible reading with her grandfather. When Ginny was a sixth grade student, her public school teacher required the class to memorize Psalm 27. That psalm became a special word from God, which sustained her through the breakup of her parents several years later.
365 Confessions For Kids was written shortly after the birth of Ron and Ginny's son, as a tool to train their child in the truths which would carry him successfully through the life ahead of him.
