Knowing what to require of children (Colossians 3:20-21) Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord. {21} Fathers, do not embitter your children, or they will become discouraged. (Ephesians 6:4) Fathers, do not exasperate (provoke to anger) your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.

Why God won’t hear our prayers (Isaiah 59:1-2) Surely the arm of the LORD is not too short to save, nor his ear too dull to hear. {2} But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear. (1 Peter 3:7) Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers.

God goodness in spite of bad leaders Israel – God sovereignly does good things, even through unhealthy people around me. Jonathan – I am not doomed to repeat the character of leaders who have hurt or failed me. Me – With God’s help I can change the harmful/unhealthy ways I have treated the people I love.
