Prayer

No challenge is too big, too powerful or too overwhelming for God.

We can always ask Him for help and strength when we are finding life tough or difficult.

When we ask God to be at work in our lives, He both listens and acts.

If you are unsure how to start talking with God, you can simply speak these words.

Talk With God

If you are unsure how to start talking with God, you can simply speak these words:

Dear God,

As our heavenly Father, you understand how challenging and difficult it can be to raise and take care of children.

Help me to respond with love rather than anger, to correct with grace rather than criticism, and to discern whether my child needs guidance, forgiveness, or encouragement.

Fill my heart with Your peace and love, and help me to remember that You are always in control and working for good in my family’s life – even when it feels difficult.

Amen.
