Day 4

Read: What Are We Aiming For?
Raising Godly men is not about getting right behavior. It is about reaching their hearts. But the hardest part is

You cannot change the hearts of your boys.

We have to do our best to be good examples and provide good examples. We have to get on our knees and ask God to soften their hearts. Only He can turn the hearts of our sons to Himself.

Study Questions
Our parenting style shifted in the last year or so. Compliance and good behavior was a focus for a while, but then we realized that our boys need to desire to do what is right. We started focusing on telling them to make good choices and talking to God about what the right choices are when they don't know what to do.

Pray: Integrity
Pray the scriptures on integrity over your sons.

Now it is your turn! Leave a comment.
