A Prayer to Choose Joy in the Hard Seasons by Rachael Hartzell

In today's episode by Doris Swift, we explore what happens when we try to squeeze into places we were never meant to be — and how God, like he did with Hagar in the wilderness, meets us right in the middle of the drama and says: I see you. You matter. You belong.This episode is for every mom who has ever felt left out, out of place, or like a failure — and for every child you're raising who needs to hear the same truth.

Reference: Colossians 3:12–14

Prayer: Father, we are thankful that we are right where we belong when we place our trust in you. Help us put on a heart of compassion, filled with kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience, and to forgive as you have forgiven us. And above all else, help us to put on love, the perfect bond of unity, and to live out this truth in our lives as we teach it to our children and grandchildren. In Jesus’ name, amen.
