Prayer to Recognize God’s Law - For the Family
We are all born with the desperate need for God’s law, but you cannot ask the law to do what only grace can accomplish. Think about law through the words of the apostle Paul: “What shall we then say that the law is sin? By no means! Yet I it had not been for the law, I would not have known sin. For I would not have known what it is to covet if the law had not said, ‘You shall not covet’” (Romans 7:7). We come into the world not knowing what is true or what is false, what is good and what is bad, or what is right and what is wrong. That’s why our children need the grace of wisdom that God’s law alone can give. God’s law is the ultimate human measuring system. As Christians, we may be cognizant of that law, but it is good for our children to be exposed to it:
Prayer:
Dear God, help me, my spouse and my children to recognize that Your law is perfect.
We want to continue to grow in the obedience of faith and we can only do that through You.
Amen.
It’s so important that the Gospel lives in your heart and shapes how each member of the family relates to each other. When each person in the family lives by these principles, they can better love each other. Parents can parent better according to God’s plan. If you are looking for more Gospel-principles that will radically change the way you think about what it means to raise your child, turn to Scripture.
