As I read the story of Naaman, I thought of the girl from Israel who recommended that he ask for help from Elisha.
And as I did, God put two thoughts in my mind.
First, growing up in Israel, this girl had lived in a land where the people had turned their backs on the Lord. Still, this girl had more faith than the king of Israel!
The second thought was this, “Why did she have so much faith in a faithless land?”
The answer I think is pretty clear: her parents.
I don’t think there’s any way that she grows up with that kind of faith unless her parents had taught her to do so.
And so my prayer for today was this:
Father, by my words and my example, help me to train my daughter to be a woman of faith.
