FORTY DAYS OF PRAYER: Day 29 - October 26, 2012

Day 29

Target: Being a Godly Role Model

Proverbs 20:7

The righteous man walks in his integrity; his children are blessed after him.

Founding Father Quote:

"Impress upon children the truth that the exercise of the elective franchise is a social duty of as solemn a nature as man can be called to perform; that a man may not innocently trifle with his vote; that every elector is a trustee as well for others as himself and that every measure he supports has an important bearing on the interests of others as well as on his own."

-Daniel Webster

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, our children are in desperate need of righteous role models. May you send men and women, boys and girls who have been called according to Your purpose to infiltrate their lives. May they grow in the knowledge of You all the days of their lives. As they hide Your words in their hearts, may America's children begin to walk in the shadow of the Almighty. May the Godly examples being played out before their eyes affect them in such a way that they leave behind those things of the world and begin to diligently seek You with their whole being. We ask for Your supernatural protection over them, as they are 100% of our future. May Your love become contagious throughout our nation, and may we give You all glory, honor and praise in all that we do. Amen.

CAN YOU SAY THAT YOU'RE A GOOD ROLE MODEL TO YOUR CHILDREN? EVEN THOUGH I HAVE NONE (YET) I PRAY EVERYDAY THAT I ACT AND AM A POSITIVE GODLY ROLE MODEL FOR MINE. I HAVE SEEN TOO MANY PARENTS FAIL AS SUCH BECAUSE THEY EITHER OVER INDULGE THEIR CHILDREN, TO THE POINT OF THEIR EITHER BEING DEAD OR IN JAIL, NEGLECT THEM THROUGH IGNORANCE AND/OR ABUSE, OR THEY ACT SO HYPOCRITICAL, THEIR CHILDREN WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH THEM. I KNOW OF QUITE A FEW BENSALEM PARENTS WHO THINK THEY ARE GOOD ROLE MODEL, BUT THEY ARE FAR FROM IT. FROM WHERE I STAND, IF YOU ARE CAUGHT BY YOUR CHILD CHEATING ON YOUR SPOUSE, THAT IS NOT BEING A GOOD ROLE MODEL, THAT IS BEING AN ADULTERER!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND SEEING THE MOVIE "COURAGEOUS", AND LEARN WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A TRULY GODLY PARENT.
