Praying for Obedient Hearts

Teaching our kids to obey is something every parent and follower of Christ should do for their kids, as well as praying for obedient hearts. A heart of biblical obedience sets them up for success in the world and helps them to follow God’s ways. As parents, we are called to teach our children to know and love the Lord, to be readers and doers of His Word, and to trust and obey Him. Part of obeying God is obeying us, their parents, because God commands it.

Of course, WE are commanded to obey God, too! He tells us not to provoke our children to anger, to pray for our family diligently, to follow His ways and put Him above all other things, and to trust Him as He guides us. I’m pretty certain that if we all sat down and gave it 10 minutes of thought, we’d see that we struggle with obedience, too. And since we know that God, our loving Father, is perfect in every way and has our best interest in mind, it should be easy to obey Him, right? Well, I don’t know about you, but it’s still a struggle for me sometimes. 

 

Pray for obedient hearts in yourself and your loved ones with these journaling pages, scripture cards, scripture coloring pages and more! Part of the Read, Pray, Love challenge.

    Tauna, I am SO very happy that you are doing another year of Read, Pray, Love!!! Our family has been so very blessed this past year as I took the challenge to memorize a verse a week with my children- you had all the work laid out there in front of me! I had no excuse not to do it!! There are no words to express the blessing this has been. Thank you so much for sharing your hard work. i hope others will join in and make the commitment to hide God’s Word in our hearts. I am SO excited to have a new year of this to look forward to. Thank you!!!

    Are you going to do it again for 2018? Or does it not matter because the calendar bit is not dated?
