When children are young, we teach them the foundational things to help them function as they grow up. We help them to understand things such as obedience, sharing, caring for others, and introduce them to God and to faith. As they grow, it’s important to show them what they’re capable of becoming. We help them to learn to test their wings, and ultimately, to fly. Roots are necessary so that flying can be accomplished with assurance.
And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God
-Colossians 1:10
Prayer for today – Lord I pray that your word takes root in the hearts of my children, so that they will make good choices in life, and desire to be pleasing to you. Help them to desire to do right in your sight, when they’re out of mine.
