A Prayer to Release Expectations

Discipling our kids rarely goes as planned, right? In today's episode, Nicolet Bell reminds us that parenting is a roller coaster, but God calls us to keep His Word central in family life and trust Him to work in the hearts of our children.Deuteronomy 6 reminds us that the Word of God should be woven into the everyday rhythms of our homes, even as our kids squirm, giggle, or pout. What matters most is that we are faithfully pointing them to Scripture.

Reference: Deuteronomy 6:6-7

Prayer: Father, remind us of the importance of impressing your word on our children. Help us to remember and talk about your word as a part of our daily rythmns and routines. Help us to be intentional in pointing our children to you. Help us to release our expectations of what this time will look like, putting our attention and focus on you alone. Give our children a hunger for your word. In Jesus' name, Amen.
