An Awesome Family Prayer

In Andy Stanley’s book, “The Principle of the Path”, he shares a great prayer that he and his wife pray over their family. It’s so good that I just have to share it. First though, it’s helpful to know where it originated from, which is Proverbs 27:12 – “The prudent see danger and take refuge, but the simple keep going and suffer for it.”  Great verse, huh?! Reminds us to slow down and watch for the warning signs in ours and our children’s lives.

Here’s the prayer:

“Lord, help us to see trouble coming long before it gets here. And give us the wisdom to know what to do and the courage to do it.”
