Meditate On
Behold, children are a heritage from the
Lord, the fruit of the womb is a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior,
so are the children of one’s youth. Happy is the man who has his quiver full of
them.
Psalm 127:3–5
Grace
For Parenting
If you are overwhelmed by the
responsibilities of being a parent today, I want to encourage you to believe
that there is a provision and a grace for parenting. Instead of worrying and
being anxious for your children, pray for them to experience God’s wisdom,
favor and protection through Jesus Christ.
Before they go to bed at night, or before
they leave for school, just lay hands on them and say, “Because you are a
Jesus-boy (or Jesus-girl), day by day, you are increasing in the wisdom of God
and in favor with God and men! Jesus will cause you to be at the right place at
the right time.”
Cast your cares for your children to the
Lord. Trust Him for the provision of wisdom to speak words of encouragement and
life to them about making good decisions instead of bowing to peer pressure. As
you meditate on His promises to bless, protect and equip your children for the
challenges of life, know that the Lord has equipped and provided you with the
grace to be an excellent parent!
