Kingdom parents, Every year on May 31st, we celebrate the Everything Parent Award in honor of Frances Marie Williams. This is not just another post or something we scroll past. This is a movement. My grandmother, Frances Marie Williams, raised me. She was my everything. She did everything, even when it was hard, even when nobody saw it, even when she had every reason to give up. And when I look at this community, I see her in so many of you. Parents who are tired but still show up, healing while raising others, carrying a past and still pushing forward, parents who don’t have it easy but refuse to quit. So on May 31st, we honor that. We honor you. This is how we’re showing up. You wake up intentional. Not rushing, not overwhelmed, not pouring into everyone else first. You get dressed, do your hair, get your nails done, put on something that makes you feel good. You take yourself out, whether it’s to eat, to sit in peace, or just to enjoy your own presence. You take pictures, real ones, proud ones, the kind that say “I made it through some things.” I will be sending out certificates to every parent who signs up, because you deserve to be recognized. Then we show the world. You post your pictures, you tag the community, you send them to me, and I’m going to share them so the world can see what strength really looks like, what resilience looks like, what “everything” really looks like. We celebrate everything else in this world. Now it’s time to celebrate ourselves. If you’re joining this movement, drop your name below. This is your moment. Don’t sit this one out. Because May 31st belongs to the parents who never gave up. In honor of Frances Marie Williams, let’s show the world what “everything” really looks like.

Kingdom parents, before this week starts, don’t just plan your schedule. Cover your home. Pray these out loud, save them, come back to them, and speak them over your family this week. A prayer for the week ahead Lord, I give You this week before I try to carry it by myself. Go before me. Order my steps. Help me not to move from stress, fear, or frustration. Give me wisdom for every decision, patience for every challenge, and peace for every moment that tries to overwhelm me. Let this week be covered by You. In Jesus’ name, amen. A prayer for my children Lord, cover my children. Protect their minds, their hearts, their bodies, and their spirits. Help them know they are loved, seen, and valuable. Teach them Your voice early. Surround them with the right people and remove anything trying to pull them away from You. Help me parent them with wisdom, not fear. In Jesus’ name, amen. A prayer for my teen Lord, cover my teen in this season. When they are confused, guide them. When they are tempted, strengthen them. When they are overwhelmed, comfort them. When they are questioning, meet them with truth. Help me not to parent my teen from panic. Help me listen, lead, correct, and love with Your wisdom. Let my teen know You are real, present, and trustworthy. In Jesus’ name, amen. A prayer for myself Lord, I need You too. Sometimes I pour out so much that I forget I’m still healing. Help me not to lose myself in parenting, pressure, and responsibility. Restore me where I am tired. Heal me where I am wounded. Correct me where I am wrong. Strengthen me where I am weak. Help me become the parent You are calling me to be, without forgetting that I am still Your child too. In Jesus’ name, amen. A prayer to cover my house Lord, cover this home. Let peace live here. Let love live here. Let forgiveness live here. Let Your presence be felt here. Anything that brings confusion, chaos, fear, division, or heaviness, we ask You to remove it. Teach us how to speak to each other. Teach us how to forgive each other. Teach us how to honor You in this house.

I’m asking for prayers as I walk through my health journey with stage four breast cancer i’m about to go through surgery in another week

Father, You did what You said You would do. You said You would rise and You got up. You said death wouldn’t hold You and it didn’t. You said it was finished and it was. So today, I stand on that same power. No more doubting. No more hesitation. No more passive faith. If You kept Your Word then I will walk in mine. Everything You placed inside of me I will no longer sit on it. No more delay. No more fear. No more shrinking back. You got up so I’m getting up too. Out of confusion. Out of inconsistency. Out of cycles. Out of fear. I step into alignment. I will move when You say move. I will build what You told me to build. I will say what You told me to say. I will not question what You already confirmed. The same power that raised Jesus from the dead lives in me. So I will not live small. I will not live stuck. I will not live silent. This is my turn to walk it out. Not perfectly but obediently. Not fearfully but boldly. You did Your part. Now I will do mine. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

There are parents raising children while fighting battles most people never see. Some are healing from their own childhood trauma.Some are learning how to parent without ever being shown how.Some are tired, overwhelmed, and stretched thin. And yes… some parents are even fighting personal battles like addiction, depression, or other struggles and they are still waking up trying to do better for their children. Parenting is not easy. But the fact that you wake up every day and keep trying matters more than you realize. So the next time you start shaming yourself as a parent, pause for a moment. You might actually be doing far better than you give yourself credit for, especially considering what you’ve had to overcome. This isn’t about judging anyone’s struggle. It’s about recognizing the parents who wake up every day and say: “I’m still going to fight for my children.” If that’s you today .. keep going. Your effort matters.
