Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.
(Proverbs 22:6)
Pray
You are the loving and compassionate father who guides and instructs us in the way we should go. I pray that You help me as a parent to train up my children in the way they should go, so that when they are older, they will not depart from it. Give me the wisdom and patience to lead by example and to impart Your teachings and values to my children. Help me to be a positive role model and to create a nurturing and loving environment in which my children can grow and thrive.
I ask for Your strength and guidance as I endeavor to fulfill my role as a parent according to Your word. Thank You, God, for entrusting me with the precious gift of my children, and I pray that I may be faithful in guiding and nurturing them in the ways of righteousness. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
