Children and Parents Children, obey your parents because you belong to the Lord, for this is the right thing to do. “Honor your father and mother.” This is the first commandment with a promise: If you honor your father and mother, “things will go well for you, and you will have a long life on the earth.”
- Ephesians 6:1-3

Father, shape children in genuine honor toward their parents, and shape parents into faithful examples worth following. Let our homes be places where the next generation learns obedience and ultimately shows our need for Christ.
