At the Oregon Coast (1998)
Sometimes it's hard to be my teenager's "teacher". There's something about teenagers that makes them think they know everything, and their parent knows nothing. It's normal, I know, but there are things that Alyssa and Kyle need to learn. (Of course, don't we all)?!
I came across the above verse the other day in my quiet time and I just loved it, especially as I thought about my sometimes "strong-willed" children..."they will all be taught by God". What a relief to know, that there are some things I can entrust Him to teach my children, especially when I feel unsuccessful. Thank you, dear Jesus!
Oh that they will "listen to the Father"!
Lord, you are our most precious Father, and I am in awe of your amazing wisdom, and that you impart it to your children. I will continue praying that you fill Alyssa and Kyle with the knowledge of your will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding. With everything that I am, I pray that they will be sponges who soak up all the wisdom and knowledge you have for them, and be hearers and doers of your Word. I pray that Alyssa and Kyle always have flexible spirits, tender minds, and open ears to the voice of their Savior. Teach them, Jesus!
