Day 2: Teaching and Training

Prayer:

Gracious Lord, I come before You today, seeking wisdom and strength to teach and train my child. Help me instill godly values and principles that will shape their character. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.

Bible Verse:

Deuteronomy 6:6-7 (NIV) "These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up."

Devotional:

One of the essential aspects of strengthening your influence as a parent is to actively teach and train your child. God has entrusted you with the responsibility of passing on His commandments, ways and principles. Your home is the primary place where faith should be nurtured and modelled.

Begin by immersing yourself in the Word of God. Let His truth saturate your heart and mind. As you grow in your own understanding and knowledge of God's Word, you will be better equipped to teach and guide your child. Make it a habit to discuss biblical principles and stories during everyday moments—while driving, at mealtimes, or before bedtime.

Remember, teaching is not limited to words alone. Your actions speak louder than your words. Your child is observing how you live out your faith. Let your life be a living testimony of the love and grace of Jesus Christ. Through consistent teaching and modelling, you will nurture a firm foundation of faith in your child's heart.
