God\u2019s Word has all the Answers as to How to Raise Your Child. <\/h1>\n\n\n\n

We should all feel weak in the area of raising children as, on our own, we are unable to achieve greatness as parents.<\/strong> We need to depend on God to help us raise our children correctly.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGod resists the proud, but gives grace unto the humble\u201d. (James 4:6)<\/strong>   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The more you experience God\u2019s love and grace, the more you are able to extend His love and grace to others, -especially in your immediate family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Follow these 10 guidelines from God\u2019s Word to help you to con\ufb01dently raise your child.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

 1. Start training your children as soon as possible so that when they are older they will continue on the right path. <\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTrain up a child in the way he\/she\nshould go, and when he\/she is old he\/she will not depart from it.\u201d (Proverbs\n22:6) NKJ<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Children are never too young or too old to begin to learn how to pray.  <\/strong>Thanking God for the food he provides for you at each meal, is a good place to start.  Teach your children to pray to God for anything, no matter how big or small.  -If they get hurt teach them to pray to God for healing.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Discipline your children whenever they need it.<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFoolishness is bound up in the heart\nof a child: the rod of correction will drive it far from him\/her.\u201d (Proverbs\n22:15) NKJ<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Life is about discipline<\/strong>. Children need your guidance in this area, as they won\u2019t have it on their own. It is the parent\u2019s job to instill discipline and order into their children\u2019s lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 3. Teach your children something from God\u2019s Word every day.<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThese words which I command you today\nshall be in your heart.  You shall teach\nthem diligently to your children, and shall talk to them when you sit in your\nhouse, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up.\u201d (Deuteronomy\n6:6-7) NKJ<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Incorporating God\u2019s Word into children\u2019s everyday life helps to open their eyes to all the beauty and events around them.<\/strong>  Chat about the character of Jesus and ask your children whether they can see how Jesus would react in any given situation.  Also, ask your children whether their actions are \u2018of Jesus\u2019, so that they learn to think about the character traits of Him, in relation to themselves.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

 4. Trusting God that your children are not destined for trouble.<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey shall not labor in vain, not bring forth children for trouble; for they shall be the descendants of the blessed of the LORD, and their off spring with them.\u201d (Isaiah 65:23) NKJ<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trusting God is a learned habit and one that comes with constant prayer and guidance from the Holy Spirit. <\/strong> Daily proclaim the Word of God over your children!  Speak positive words to your children, not negative ones, as children can easily become what you speak over them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Pray fervently day and night for your children.<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cArise, cry out in the night at the\nbeginning of the watches: pour out your heart like water before the face of the\nLORD.  Lift your hands toward Him for the\nlife of your young children, who faint from hunger at the head of every\nstreet.\u201d (Lamentations 2:19) NKJ<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nothing is more powerful than the power of prayer.<\/strong>  Pray consistently for your children.   Seek God and ask Him to guide you daily.  Release your children into God\u2019s hands.  A praying parent is the best parent of all.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

 6. Give your children Godly training, not angry commands.<\/em>  <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou, fathers, do not provoke your\nchildren to wrath, but bring them up in training and admonition of the Lord.\u201d\n(Ephesians 6:4) NKJ<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anger and hash comments are not what God wants us to convey to our children.  Respect is earned, so work with your children and not against them. Speak positive words not negative ones. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

 7. When you do what\u2019s right, your children will be blessed. <\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe righteous man walks in his\nintegrity; his children are blessed after him.\u201d (Proverbs 20:7) NKJ<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fruit of your prayers will be seen in your children, as time goes on.<\/strong>  With God in control of your children\u2019s lives, fear of failure vanishes. When God is your partner, success for life is guaranteed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

 8. Keep praying when things get difficult and refuse to give up.<\/em>  <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI would have lost heart, unless I had\nbelieved that I would see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the\nliving.   Wait on the LORD; be of good\ncourage, and He shall strengthen your heart; wait, I say, on the LORD!\u201d (Psalm\n27:13-14) NKJ<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You are bound to have dif\ufb01cult times as a parent however, with the gift of prayer, you can always seek the Lord. He will give you the strength to keep going.  God tells us; <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou\u2019re blessed when you\u2019re at the end of your rope. With less of you there is more of God and His rule\u201d . Matthew: \u2018The Beatitudes\u2019\u2026 <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

 9. Know that your children are God\u2019s reward to you.<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBehold, children are a heritage from\nthe LORD, the fruit of the womb is a reward.\u201d (Psalm 127:3) NKJ<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is God who blesses us with children.<\/strong> He had planned them for us, long before they were even born.  Embrace this blessing and nurture your children with God\u2019s guidance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

10. The LORD hears every prayer for your children.<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor this child I prayed, and the LORD\nhas granted me my petition which I asked of Him.\u201d (1 Samuel 1:27) NKJ<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

God hears your prayers. <\/strong>He knows your strengths and your weaknesses.  He will always meet you where you are.  Consult God every day and ask Him to help you become the best parents you can be.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surrender! <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The only way to be totally sure that God is in control of your children is to surrender your hold on them. <\/strong>This allows God full access to their lives. God wants you to come to Him and to \ufb01nd His grace, which will help you with whatever you need. Allow God to fully work in you, which will give you the con\ufb01dence to raise your children. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best thing you can do for your children is to pray FOR them and WITH them. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Riding<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Go with His grace! <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Prayer:  Heavenly Father, I release my children into Your hands and pray that You would protect and guide them.  Please put on my heart what I need to pray, regarding my children.  I realise that I don\u2019t have the ability to be a perfect parent, but You do. Thank you! In Jesus name I pray\u2026 Amen. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
