POWER FROM THE HOLY SPIRIT

Parenting is a tough job, but we have the ultimate Helper to guide us. When we became believers, we were filled with the source of parenting wisdom — the Holy Spirit. When confronted with difficult decisions about choices, consequences, or empathy, a mature Christian knows that turning to "the Spirit who is from God," rather than "the spirit of the world" yields the kind of response that would be impossible under his own power. When we turn to the Holy Spirit before we turn to our children, we can speak with the wisdom of God, rather than mere "human wisdom."

There are no parenting guides more valuable than the Holy Spirit and prayer.
