Encouragement from Brooke
I could talk about how many men struggle to be faithful to their wives. I could talk about how some men get tossed about for most of their lives, never really knowing who they are or what they believe. I could talk about how some of the young men I see today don’t know how to hold down a job, or provide for their families, or how to be a good and faithful husband and father. But really, what I want to talk about … what I want to pray about today … is that our sons would be faithful to God.
Doesn’t this one prayer bring with it the solution to everything else we could talk about? A man whose first love is Jesus, will be faithful in all of the areas above. He won’t be perfect, but he will possess the ability to be empowered by the Holy Spirit to be faithful. It is something worth praying for.
“Now therefore fear the LORD and serve him in sincerity and in faithfulness … ~Joshua 24:14
And ponder this quote from Paul E. Miller’s A Praying Life: Connecting with God in a Distracting World. “Mature Christians are keenly aware that they can’t raise their kids. It’s a no-brainer. Even if they are perfect parents, they still can’t get inside their kids’ hearts. That’s why strong Christians pray more.”
I don’t have any of my own thoughts to add today. It’s been a busy day. God bless you as you pray for your sons.
