Father God, Today we ask for discernment in our homes. Help us see clearly what our children need, not just what we think they need. Give us wisdom to recognize what is truly going on in their hearts and not just react to their behavior. Show us when to correct, when to listen, and when to be patient. Give us discernment in our words so we speak life into our children and not frustration. Help us guide them in a way that reflects Your truth and love. Protect our families from influences that try to pull our children away from what is good and right. Today we declare: God is giving us wisdom as parents. God is guiding our decisions. God is helping us lead our children well. In Jesus’ name, Amen. If you're praying this over your family today, comment: “Lord, give me discernment.”

Maybe you have…Maybe you haven’t… But let me ask you something. What if the story God placed inside of you was meant to reach someone who needs it? What if one children’s book you create helps shape the mind of a child? What if one devotional encourages someone who is struggling in their faith? What if the message you’ve lived through becomes the message that helps someone else keep going? Books are powerful. One book can: • plant seeds of faith • teach values to children • inspire families • leave a legacy that lives long after we’re gone And the truth is… writing a book today is more possible than ever before. You don’t have to be a professional writer. You don’t have to be an illustrator. You just need a message, a story, or a vision. I’ve written 30+ self-published books, and now I’m teaching others how to do the same. Next week I’m hosting a Live Book Creation Bootcamp where I’ll walk you step-by-step through how to: ✍🏽 Write your book 🎨 Create illustrations 📚 Design your finished book Whether you want to create: • a children’s book • a prayer journal • a devotional • a coloring book • or a book that shares your story This bootcamp will help you finally start. Because your story matters. Your message matters. And one book could impact more lives than you realize. If you’ve ever felt the desire to write a book… This might be the moment to finally begin. If you can’t make the class due to scheduling everything will be recorded. So save you seat The details are in the link. https://www.thejourneytofindgod.com/adult-publishing

Father God, Many of us have been waiting… waiting for answers, waiting for direction, waiting for the right moment to move forward. Today we ask for discernment to recognize when the season of waiting is over. Give us wisdom to know when You are calling us to step out in faith. Help us not to stay stuck in hesitation when You are opening the door for us to move. Strengthen our trust in You so that when the time comes, we step forward with courage and obedience. Remind us that waiting is not wasted when You are preparing us. And when the moment arrives, give us the faith to move with confidence, knowing that You are guiding our steps. Today we declare: God is ordering our steps. God is preparing us for what’s next. When the time comes, we will move in faith. In Jesus’ name, Amen. If this prayer is for you today, comment: “Lord, help me know when to step forward.”

Stop letting one hard day make you think you’re a bad parent. Your child had an attitude yesterday? Welcome to parenting. They didn’t listen the first time? Neither did you when you were their age. You lost your patience and had to regroup?That doesn’t make you a failur, that makes you human. Listen to me carefully. The enemy would love for you to sit in guilt, shame, and self-doubt… because tired, discouraged parents stop leading. But that’s not who you are. God trusted YOU with those children. Not the perfect parent on Instagram.Not the family that looks polished on social media. YOU. That means you already have what you need to grow, learn, and lead your home. So get up today with confidence. Pray over your children. Speak life into your house. Correct with love. Lead with courage. Because strong families are not built by perfect parents. They’re built by parents who refuse to quit on their assignment.

When God sent Moses to lead His people, Moses asked a question many of us have asked in our own way: “Who should I say sent me?” And God answered with something powerful. He said: “Tell them I AM sent you.” Not “I was.”Not “I will be.” I AM. Meaning whatever you’re facing… God already is the answer. When you feel like you’re not enough as a parent…God says I AM your strength. When you’re a single parent wondering who’s going to help carry this weight…God says I AM your help. When old temptations show up and you feel yourself slipping back into patterns you prayed to break…God says I AM your self-control and your way out. When the bills are sitting on the table and you don’t know how they’re getting paid…God says I AM your provider. When you’re exhausted from doing everything by yourself…God says I AM your rest. When the refrigerator looks empty and the stress starts creeping in…God says I AM your provision. When you feel lonely in the middle of the night wondering who’s really there for you…God says I AM with you. When you’re trying to raise children in a world that feels upside down…God says I AM your wisdom. When you feel like you’ve messed up too many times to get it right…God says I AM your mercy. Whatever the gap is in your life… God didn’t say go figure it out. He said: I AM.
