Lean Not on your Own Understanding - Proverbs 3:5-6

Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight (Proverbs 3:5-6)

Dear Father,

I pray that these little ones do not lose the innocent trust of children. That even when things are not making sense, they still look to you and to the wisdom of scripture for their guidance. That they trust that if they follow your principles and your teachings you will make all things right in the end. With the perspective of the cross, we understand that "in the end" may not be in this life, but I pray for these children that you will show them favor in this life for faithfulness to you with an understanding by them that your favor in this life is but a small token of what is to come.

Amen
