Today's Scripture & Prayer: Parenting
📖 Scripture: John 1:51 (AMPC)
"Then He said to him, I assure you, most solemnly I tell you all, you shall see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man! [Gen. 28:12; Dan. 7:13.]"
Practical Tips
1. Model Authentic Worship-
- Children learn by observing. Be intentional about your own worship practices. Let them see you pray, read the Bible, and express gratitude to God.
- Share personal stories of how worship impacts your life.
2. Teach Age-Appropriate Concepts.
- Adapt your teaching to their developmental stage. Use simple language and relatable examples.
- Explain concepts like praise, thanksgiving, and surrender in ways they can understand.
3. Create a Worship Environment:
- Set aside a special place for family worship. It could be a corner with a Bible, worship songs, and art supplies.
- Encourage them to participate by singing, drawing, or writing prayers.
Prayer:
Dear Lord, we express our gratitude for the precious gift of our children. You have entrusted us with the responsibility to raise and guide the next generation. Grant us wisdom and understanding as we navigate this vital role. May our actions align with Your ways, not just our words. Let us be true worshipers, modeling a life of faith and integrity for our children. May John 4:24 come alive in their hearts.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
