Today I stop and I look around, and I thank God for what has been entrusted to me as wife and as mother. I stop to manage the matters I can manage. And I ask myself whether I am managing them on my own or with my God.
I think of just a few of the simple, Godly bits of wisdom shared over the past few months on how to pray for my children:
1. That they might walk faithfully with the Lord all the days of their lives.
2. Lord, have mercy on them.
3. That I might be the light of Christ to them.
Finally, I am reminded that they are God’s children first. This is one of the most challenging prayers: For the Lord’s will in their life to always be at the forefront and not my own.
