Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, gathering Holy Spirit perspective:

“Praise be to the LORD, the God of Israel, who made heaven and earth! He has given King David a wise son…”
(2 Chronicles 2:12)

King Hiram was right, Jesus…

You’re the one who gives parents good kids.

Yes, parents matter.

You require the best of them, expect them

to sacrifice
give their kids every healthy advantage
tell their children about You
guide and coach their offspring
live it in front of them.

Still, You haven’t given parents the right – or the power –
to program their children like robots.

If you had, every child would be perfect.

In the end, the child makes his own decisions.

Great kids come from bad homes.
Bad kids come from great homes.

What a powerful reminder:

Before the child ever decides her life’s direction…

You make the child.

I want to be one of Your wise ones, Father.

I really do.
