Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account. (Hebrews 4:13)
All Knowing Father,
When we are not behaving ourselves, we tend to not want to think about you or approach you. In our strange way, we somehow think you are not there, not with us in the place we are not supposed to be doing what we should not be doing. By the Spirit within them, give these children a strong sense of your presence, even when they are not behaving. May that sense of your presence have a convicting effect such that they never feel comfortable with ungodly behavior or speech. May their sense, though, be of a present Father who cares for them and whose Spirit is in anguish at the harm they are causing themselves and others, a present God who wants to reclaim them and take them under his wings, a Father who runs to the prodigal to embrace upon his return. And may they run to you.
Amen
