Getting caught

About two years ago I met a mom that prayed every morning hand in hand with her two boys before they headed out the door to school. The prayer was simple. I pray you get caught doing wrong and confess to Jesus tonight. It worked. Those boys would come home and tell their mamma their 'wrongs' for the day then thy would pray.  One day I happened to be there and I couldn't help but giggle as the younger gave a sigh and a smile and said "sometimes I wish that prayer didn't work, I always get caught!"  Haha he couldn't have been more right. 

Today's prayer "I pray you'll get caught doing things wrong-and find the good and true path" is taken straight from Psalm25:4-5. I love how Lisa relates this to all of us. We face decisions every day and don't always recognize them. And I, just like the author, wish God would shake me and say what are you doing?! "But for all of us, parents and kids alike, acknowledging the fact we've been on the wrong path- and seeking God's redirection- is the first step toward the path of wholeness". 

So today lets pray to be the better role models, to be aware of our circumstances and have the courage to correct our and our children's mistakes.
