Praying the Psalms over our kids: The key to fearing God

I realize it’s December and life is crazy! But let’s take just a few minutes to slow down and pray for our kids today. 

Our focus this week is praying that our kids learn to fear God. Fearing God sounds confusing, but it’s not about living scared or fleeing from him. Instead, it’s living in such awe and reverence towards God that we’re willing to submit to him even when it doesn’t make sense. 

We learned last week that fearing God is the key to wisdom (Psalm 111:10). And in a world that thrives on earthly knowledge, our kids need wisdom from God’s word now more than ever.  

Join me in praying that our kids won’t settle for a head-knowledge of God, but instead gain a heart of awe and reverence that propels them towards their Savior. Fear God. Gain wisdom. Live in his blessing. That’s the long and short of it.
