- 0:02Speaker 1: go to God in prayer. You know, I know I

- 0:29Speaker 1: We need your guidance, we need your spirit, We need
- 0:32Speaker 1: your strengths and how to raise our children, our grandchildren,
- 0:37Speaker 1: to be positive influences in their lives. Lord, your word
- 0:41Speaker 1: calls us to bring up our children in the discipline
- 0:44Speaker 1: and instruction that comes from You. And we admit God
- 0:48Speaker 1: that in our business, in our fears and sometimes God
- 0:51Speaker 1: our failures, we just fall short. So today we lay
- 0:55Speaker 1: it all at your feet. Make our homes places of
- 0:58Speaker 1: grace and truth. Help us discipline, not how to frustration

- 1:07Speaker 1: their hearts back to You. Father. For us as parents,
- 1:11Speaker 1: we pray, let us not provoke our children to anger

- 1:19Speaker 1: love and joy. Let our examples be a mirror of
- 1:24Speaker 1: Jesus Christ, honest, repentant, and full of faith. Let us
- 1:28Speaker 1: live a life at home that honors You and represents
