The Children For Christ by Andrew Murray

delivering from it, be to all parents a lesson and a model of the Godfearing
parent.
Teach us, we pray You, how this marks the fear of God in its full power
and extent, when it trembles at the sins of the children, and intercedes
for them, as its own. Oh, teach us, Lord! to fear sin as the one thing Your
soul hates, and to make it our one care that the children sin not.
Teach us to realize our God-given position as intercessors, and to plead
the blood for them as definitely and as believingly as for ourselves. May
we know in faith that we are heard.
And teach us so in prayer to bring them with us, so to speak and pray at
the right time and way, that from us they may learn both the fear of
God and the confidence of faith. O God! if we are indeed Your children,
may this element distinctly mark our piety and our faith, that they
embrace and influence our homes as much as ourselves, that they
stamp home and family life: wholly the Lord’s. Amen.
Job 28:28
And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord,
that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.
Job 12:13
“With God are wisdom and might; He has counsel and understanding.”
Psalm 145:19
He will fulfill the desire of them that fear him:
he also will hear their cry, and will save them.
