     Faith in God is a heritage often passed down through the generations. The apostle, Paul, looked at Timothy as his son in the faith. He taught him, mentored him and guided him into continuing the missionary work he had done over his lifetime. Timothy was raised by Godly women and Paul acknowledged this in his letter.

I am reminded of your sincere faith, which first lived in your grandmother, Lois, and in your mother, Eunice, and I am persuaded now lives in you also.  2 Timothy 1:5

     Raise your children in the faith. Many, even most, may stray for a time, but the Bible holds this promise for us to hang onto and I have seen it play out time and time again.

Start children off on the way they should go and even when they are old, they will not turn from it. Proverbs 22:6

Father,

Thank you for the opportunity to raise children in the faith. We trust you will guide them into faith and turn them back to You and to Your Son, Jesus. Build in our families the foundation of faith and we will not depart from it.

In Jesus name,

Amen
