God’s Help in Raising Children
There is probably not a parent around who has not
experienced a child having a strong will.
Sometimes we look at a strong willed child at first as cute, but if that
strong will continues and left unchecked, it could lead a child down the wrong
path, and that path can have disastrous consequences.
What are we to do?
Probably the best place is to seek God’s help through prayer and not
lean on our own understanding (Prov 3:5).
This invites God’s involvement and help in our family. In addition to asking in prayer for that
help, we should diligent learn what God’s word says and how it applies to
raising children. God’s word is a
powerful help in guiding our activities and our prayers.
Father, may Your word teach us how to protect our children
through prayer and guide our actions in raising them. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
Reflection Questions:
Why should we take time to learn
what God’s word says when we ask for help from God?
Why is God’s word a powerful help
in guiding our activities and our prayers?
Why is it important to have God’s
help in raising children?
