I recently read an article about the 10 things we should pray for our children. I thought it was a good reminder as I caught myself chuckling about some of the prayers I have prayed recently for mine: "Lord, keep him out of trouble" , "Protect his heart" and "Father, keep me sane" I'll admit have topped my list in the past few weeks. Here is the list from the article.
1. For Godly wisdom
2. For character
3. For an excellent spirit
4. For humility
5. For the desire to know God
6. For direction
7. For favor
8. For discernment
9. For the right friends and the right spouse
10. For respect toward authority
A good list to remember for our children. And as for our sanity, well I guess that will have to wait for another list.
Good list . . . number #8 "discernment" based on priority should be at lest #1 or 2. Even when taught, why do our children consistently make bad choices?
Thank You, Lemel, good point.
