Prayer:
Lord, thank You once again for the gift of children. Thank You because You entrust these gifts to us so that we may partner with You in raising them. Lord, this morning we pray for the salvation of our children. We know that it is never too early for them to receive Jesus as Lord and Savior. Today, Lord, may You give us opportunities to share this wonderful news of salvation with our children. May our role as parents not just be to take them to Sunday School, but may we realize that we have a bigger role in matters of salvation for our children. Give us the courage to speak to them and lead them to You so that they will have the hope of seeing You and dwelling in Your presence. We bless You, Lord, because we know our children belong to You. Help them and help us today. In Jesus' name, amen.
Action Points for daily living
1. Model Faith in Everyday Life:
Demonstrate your faith through your actions and decisions. Let your children see you pray, read the Bible, and live out Christian values. Your example is a powerful tool in teaching them about God's love and grace.
2. Create Opportunities for Spiritual Conversations:
Engage your children in discussions about faith, salvation, and God's word. Use everyday moments to talk about God's presence and His plans for their lives. Encourage them to ask questions and express their thoughts and feelings about their spiritual journey.
3. Involve Them in Faith-Based Activities:
Beyond Sunday School, involve your children in church activities, family devotions, and community service. These experiences help them understand the importance of faith in action and build a strong foundation for their spiritual growth.
Shalom ☕💞
