Enter the Global Prayer Lighthouse to learn about the prayer ministry of this organization. As a family, consider making your home a “lighthouse of prayer.” You could commit to praying for your own concerns and the problems of others and assign a certain time that you would come together to share prayer concerns and answers. God wants to help us with our problems. When we face difficult situations, there is no stronger course of action than to pray.

Browse this fun Web site and discover how some things work. Choose one of the descriptions that you most enjoyed, and talk about how it compares to the ways God works.

Think about answers to some of these questions:
• How do you involve God in your daily life? How could you do more to keep God “in the loop”?
• In what ways can God help you with problems? Do you believe God can really tell you what to do in times of trouble? How?
• Does God understand the times in which we live? Is the Bible relevant today? If so, do you believe that God has answers for today? Explain.

Discuss how you, as a family and as individuals, can turn to God when you face problems.

Solomon Writes Many Proverbs

http://www.clubhousemagazine.com/

Let the children in the family take the lead by clicking on any of the areas listed on the left side of the screen: stories to crafts-it’s all OK because these links have been carefully selected for kid surfers!

Allow the surfers to answer the following questions:
• What was it like to surf at this site?
• Why should we use wisdom in choosing which Web sites to explore?
• How can we use wisdom when making choices in everyday life?

Once you have reached the Christianity Today Web site, type the word “wise” into the search box at the top right of the home page. Click on “search,” and watch as the results come in. Scroll down the list of articles that describe Christians who have displayed wisdom. If you see one that you really like, ask a member of the family to read the first part of the article aloud.

Discuss the following questions as a family:
• What principles of God did the person follow? What did you learn about wisdom?
• What guidelines does God give in his Word to equip us in our search for wisdom?

Spend a few moments in prayer, thanking God for the Bible. Wisdom can be learned by following the principles given in God’s Word.

Solomon Asks for Wisdom

Link:

http://www.coolquotescollection.com/Wisdom1.aspx

Read some of these quotes about wisdom, keeping in mind that they represent the “wisdom” of humankind, not necessarily of God. Then let each family member declare a favorite. Discuss those that are selected. Why are they favorites? What did you learn from them?

At this site, you will find only quotes that have a Christian perspective. How are these quotes about wisdom different from some of those you read at the first site?

Many people think they have the answers to all of life’s questions. Perhaps they have studied all of their lives, and they are truly knowledgeable. But they don’t have all the answers. Only God can sort through all that the world places in our paths and then help us to see with light and clarity.

Discuss the following questions as a family:
• How is knowledge different from wisdom? How is human wisdom different from God’s wisdom? What kinds of things does God know that we don’t know?
• How is knowledge related to wisdom? Can one inspire the other?
• How can we obtain wisdom?
