The fourth prayer I pray for our children is that “they would become people of wisdom”
I firmly believe that God does not just want to save our souls, but rather move every area of our lives on to the path of godly wisdom.
I am praying for our children that they would grow more like Jesus, in “wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.” (Luke 2:52)
I am praying that they would build their whole life on the gospel, and on godly wisdom that is rooted in the reverential awe and fear of the Lord. As Proverbs 9:10 teaches, “Fear of the LORD is the foundation of wisdom. Knowledge of the Holy One results in good judgment.”
I am praying that our children would see God’s Word as foundational to this life of wisdom. I am praying that they would live their life by Psalm 1: “Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on His law day and night. That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither – whatever they do prospers.” (Psalm 1:1-3)
