Prayer for Myself as a Parent

Parenting can be extremely rewarding, exciting and fulfilling. It can also be a tough gig.

The day in day out slog of living can sometimes cause us to lose track of our purpose in life. Throw in demands from work, church, extended family, let alone our spouse and kids, sports practice, late nights, our own expectations, kids crying, and it can be easy to become frazzled.

How can we enjoy parenting our children? How can we model a life full of grace, peace and fulfillment to our children?

I believe firstly that we need to spend time praying. Praying for ourselves.

Thus, this month’s prayer calendar is focused on 28 days of praying for ourselves as parents. If we know our identity as a child of God and live from that place, experiencing God’s pleasure in us, it is so much easier to parent our children in a godly manner. If we are praying to parent well, handle finances appropriately, control our anger, guard our mouth, then we can expect that our children will benefit.

Will you join me this month praying for ourselves as parents first?
