And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. — Ephesians 6:4

Malachi 4:6 says that fathers and children will be together again in their hearts. Let’s make that happen in our homes by taking care of and correcting our children in a balanced way. Let’s not fill our faith with so many rules and restrictions that it’s hard for our children to hear that we love them and are happy with them. Let’s not give our kids so much freedom that they feel alone and scared. Let’s open our hearts to them and ask God to open their hearts to their home with you and with us.

Prayer

O Lord God Almighty, Abba Father, our country is cursed because so many Fathers have left their children both spiritually and physically. Please raise up parents, especially fathers, who can balance the hard tasks of loving, caring for, and correcting their children so that our land can be healed and our children can know your love and grace. In Jesus’ precious name I pray. Amen.
