Focus: Admonish
Verse: Hebrews 12:7, 9, 11
7 Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as his children. For what children are not disciplined by their father? 8 If you are not disciplined—and everyone undergoes discipline—then you are not legitimate, not true sons and daughters at all. 9 Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected them for it. How much more should we submit to the Father of spirits and live! 10 They disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, in order that we may share in his holiness. 11 No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.
Prayer:
Dear Father, I pray that you would admonish my children, with Your GRACE! I cry out that they would heed your guiding voice, and they would respond to your call. May my children be attentive and responsive as you use us, their parents, to train and direct them in Your word. I pray they fruits would be a testament to their understanding and embracing of Your loving hand.
