Father, Solomon shared from his wisdom to possess a controlled and disciplined life. One who is under control is wise. If his mind is controlled by the Spirit, he will have a blessed life and peace.
I know my life must demonstrate control before him. There is power and security in an unwavering life. I want him to live in a home that has a strong foundation. How can he see the benefits of these characteristics if we do not steady our own vessel and discipline our home life as Your Word so instructs; proving the reality of reward for such restraint?
Help him at this young age to understand this blessed principle of control. Help him to know how to draw back when the soul wants to expel hurtful words. Help him to line up his desires to Christ-like standards; to allow his feet to walk paths of righteousness.
May he know the joy of discipline and the righteous force it creates when it rushes between the banks of your instruction.
Help him to walk through his teenage years controlled and focused. Help me to teach him priorities as a child and pre-teen. Help me to recognize difficult areas for him and spend concentrated time overcoming these struggles; to dig up seeds of complacency before they take root.
Thank you for his life and the joy he brings to us. He is blessed and favored. I am honored to bring him to You. Guide him to a purpose-filled life.
In the Name of Jesus---Amen
