“Growing a Godly Daughter”
Proverbs 2:14-19
A Sunday School teacher was seeking to teach her class about prayer. The disciples asked Jesus to teach us how to pray, so it’s a good thing to want to know how to pray.

Now that we have people studying parenting and really looking at it, instead of helping parents become better parents, we are adding to their anxiety in becoming better parents.”
CBS News was interviewing a man one time who was a psychologist, and the interviewer asked the man, “Would you tell us, since it seems that we made a mistake by following one man’s version of raising children for 20 years, would you tell us what your version and the way we ought to raise our children is?” The man very wisely and honestly said, “Behavioral Science is so young in the matter of home relationships, that we really cannot tell you anything that is infallible At this stage of the game, we really don’t have any answers.” It seems to me that God did not give a man and a woman children and then leave them without any guidance in discerning what kind of children they had, wh ...
