When given the chance to have anything in the world, King Solomon asked for wisdom in order to lead well and to make right decisions. (1 Kings 3:6-9)
We can ask God for this same wisdom for our kids.
"If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking." James 1:5
As parents we need to ask the Lord to give our kids not only knowledge, but also the ability to make wise decisions in difficult circumstances. Asking for wisdom is ultimately asking to be like Christ.
"...Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God." 1 Corinthians 1:24
Show your children what the Bible says about the wise man and the foolish man and begin to pray for that Christlike wisdom over their lives, heart and mind.
PRAYER FOR WISDOM
May (your child's name) be like Solomon and ask You, God, for an understanding mind and the ability to discern between good and evil. (1 Kings 3:9)
