A Prayer To Help You Ask For God’s Help And Strength
When we ask God to be at work in our lives, he both listens and acts – and no challenge is too big, too powerful or too overwhelming.
If you don’t feel like you can pray right now, you can ask our team to pray for you:
Would You Like Us To Pray For You?
If you would like prayer support, but don’t feel like you can pray right now, you can send us a Prayer Request and our team will pray for you!Â
Prayer
If you are unsure how to start talking with God today, you can begin using 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.
