My Prayer List for My Children – Boldness

Greetings Dear Reader,

Every time I read this in the list I hesitate.  Boldness is a good quality but only when tempered with humility.  My Sons are both bold in their own way.  Their mother used to always say that I was bold.  When I pray for them about this I pray that they are only bold about the right things.

I have been bold about good and bad things.  I try tempering my boldness so that I only take risks when they are founded in faith.  I need to only have this kind of courage in matters of following Christ.  I am sure I need more boldness in some of these areas.

There are times when I need more boldness but my fear of the results freezes me.  Having failed at times to temper my boldness with enough humility and love I do not want to repeat those failures.  I must be bold about the things Christ is bold about.  I pray that I never lose this balance.

Wishing you joy in the journey,
