Night Prayer 

My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:

Inspiration 

From our earliest days, our parents are our primary source of wisdom. Their guidance and rules during our childhood kept us safe from everything from choking to strange dogs to traffic. No matter what our experiences since then, we see value in that foundational wisdom, which informs our desire to seek the wisdom of our Heavenly Father in adulthood.

Prayer 

Father God, sometimes I take Your wisdom for granted. But as I look back on my life, I cherish Your boundaries and instructions with gratitude. Then, You protected me through my parents. Now, I ask that You would grow me in wisdom by Your Spirit and Your word, so that I may continue to live faithfully for You. In Jesus’ name, amen.
