A Prayer to Have Patience with Your Children by Brooke McGlothlin

Before motherhood, it’s easy to believe we have our emotions under control—until the right circumstances reveal what’s really in our hearts. In this episode, we explore how parenting can expose our desire for control and how God invites us to a better way. True power isn’t found in dominance or perfection, but in patience, surrender, and dependence on God’s strength.

Reference: Proverbs 16:32

Prayer: Father, help me make good use of the tools you've made available to me to be for those I love most. In Jesus' name, amen.
