Jeremiah 1:5 - "Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations." Let's remember that God has something special planned for each of our children. Let's try to cultivate that as much as possible and let's try not to push them towards what we want them to do.  They will only truly be comfortable in life if they are doing the will of God for their lives. - Jason Myers

Ephesians 6:4 - "And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord." - I was thinking about this familiar verse the other day when I saw my son frustrated with a Lego. He couldn't quite get the pieces together. It made me realize how I get to model our Heavenly Father before my children. When the pieces of life just don't seem to fit, and we can't make sense of it, we have a father we can go to for help. It might start with a small toy, but we as fathers are laying the foundation of trust, kindness and patience in our children's lives that we want them to see in God. - Matthew Stephens

Psalm 112:1-2  - "Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.  His seed shall be mighty upon earth:  the generation of the upright shall be blessed."  It is a wonderful promise from God that He will not only bless us, but also our children as we follow His Word. - John Mark Brothers
