The Unteachable Dad

There is a way that seems right to man, but its end is the way to death. Proverbs 14:12

Lord, I pray that You will help the Unteachable/Untrainable Dad. This is the Dad that is not able to receive instruction, correction, or godly advice from anyone. Lord, please bless him to be teachable and trainable. Don’t allow him to turn a deaf ear to the knowledge that is being given. Allow him to be quick to hear, and slow to speak. Don’t allow complete destruction to take place before he heeds Your word.

Lord don’t allow him to be the way he was parented years ago. Lord don’t let him have the attitude that it is ‘his way or the highway’. Don’t let him father out of the tradition of man. Let him parent by using Your wisdom, knowledge, and skills. Especially for children that may have some developmental issues. Let him repent for not being teachable or trainable. Don’t allow his past to dictate his future. Let the Unteachable/Untrainable Dad obtain understanding. You said in Your word, in all Your getting; get an understanding.

Give him a teachable spirit. Especially if You are grooming him for leadership in the church. Allow him to know that in order to lead, you must follow.

PRAYERS FOR THE CHILDREN

Lord, allow the child of the unteachable/untrainable dad to have a humble spirit. Don’t allow the child to have the dad’s mentality. Give them wisdom about how to handle situations no matter how old they are. If the children are forced to do something that is against the law or wrong, create a way of escape for them. Allow them to be respectful of everybody they come in contact with. Let them have respect for people that have authority over them.
