Help Me Encourage My Children

Heavenly Father, thank You for being perfect and loving in how You parent me. Grant me the wisdom to raise my children without discouraging or exasperating them, as I seek to “bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord” (Ephesians 6:4). Help me to discern when to discipline them in love and when to show them grace and compassion. Strengthen me with the resolve and courage to do the right thing at the right time, for Your glory.
