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!
