Proverbs 29:15, 17, 21 NIV
"A rod and a reprimand impart wisdom, but a child left undisciplined disgraces its mother. Discipline your children, and they will give you peace; they will bring you the delights you desire. A servant pampered from youth will turn out to be insolent."
I must recognize the needs of my kids and I must correct them through loving discipline. I must guide them and encourage them to contribute to their keep. When I do so out of love and with the help of the the Lord, they will grow into peaceful, delightful, servants of the Lord.
Lord, I thank you for my kids and for the wisdom you have provided me in bringing them up. I continue to need your help in the proper way to raise them. Guide me Lord so that I do the right thing, help my kids to learn your wisdom and to grow into godly, peaceful, delightful, servants that love you Lord and follow your way. To you my Lord and my God be the glory.
