"Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the city, the watchmen waketh but in vain."
Lord, build our home, keep our family - let us base our foundations upon You and not on other things...
"It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep."
Help us, please, Lord, to use our time wisely as You would have us use it - to use it wisely and to honor You.
"Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord and the fruit of the womb is his reward. As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.
"Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate."
Thank you for our children. For the gifts and blessings that they are, that we have been so blessed with. Please help us, Lord, to be the parents that you created us to be, to raise our children in praise and honor of You and Your great glory.
I pray for wisdom today, that the Lord would guide my words and actions, and thank Him for the many blessings He has so graciously given to me and to my household. We need not worry about tomorrow, and I can thank Him for the trials and difficulties that draw us closer to Him.
Thank you, Lord. I love you.
