Being prayerful is the last bit of "wisdom" from this fun little book. There will be so many times that Mom & Dad can't help - that only through prayer and petition will Joshua be able to seek God's wisdom for the situation and do the right thing.
The Bible's best wisdom for all little boys
Is not to want treasures of trinkets and toys!
Instead God says you're to simply cling
More to the Lord than to any thing.
Dear God above, for this I pray -
To be a godly man someday.
Make me a man who loves You true,
A man of wisdom who pleases You.
Wisdom begins with respect for the Lord.
And understanding begins with knowing God, the Holy One.
And understanding begins with knowing God, the Holy One.
Proverbs 9:10
Dear God, we thank you that you have given us access to you through prayer 24/7. We pray for Joshua that he would grow up to be a man after your own heart, wise beyond his years. (And we pray that for his brother, too!). We ask that you would mold their character into your likeness. When Joshua needs help, we pray that he would automatically think to to take it to you in prayer. When he's happy, I ask that the Holy Spirit would remind him to thank you for his joy and strength. We pray that in any situation, Joshua remembers that the prayer of a righteous man avails much and that he would remain in constant communication with you. I pray that he would read your word and get to know your heart and pray for the things of your kingdom. Teach him, guide him and be with him even when we can't be. Thank you so much for our amazing son(s)! In Jesus' name, AMEN!
