Father God, As we lead our homes and correct our children, we ask for wisdom. Your Word tells us not to provoke our children to anger… So Lord, show us where we may be crossing that line. Show us when correction turns into frustration. Show us when discipline turns into control. Show us when our tone, our words, or our reactions are pushing our children instead of leading them. Teach us how to correct without breaking their spirit. Teach us how to be firm… but still loving. Clear… but still patient. Consistent… but still understanding. And Lord, give us discernment. Tell us when enough is enough on our end. When to speak… and when to be quiet. When to correct… and when to step back and let the lesson settle. Help us not to parent from anger, pride, or the need to “win” the moment. But to parent in a way that builds our children, not frustrates them. We don’t just want obedient children… We want children who feel seen, heard, and guided. So refine us as parents. Correct us where we are wrong. Strengthen us where we are weak. And help us lead our homes in a way that reflects You. In Jesus’ name, Amen. If this prayer is for you today, comment: “Lord, teach me balance.”

We’re going to talk about consequences for disrespect . Real consequences. Age-appropriate. Consistent. I want to make sure I cover every stage of parenting, not just one group. So help me out. How old is your child? I want to make sure no age group gets skipped.

Father God, We come before You in humility this morning. Forgive us for the moments we did not hold the line You gave us as parents. The times we let things slide because we were tired. The times we chose peace in the moment over discipline that was needed. The times we saw behavior and didn’t address it because it felt easier to ignore. Forgive us for being passive in places You called us to be firm. You didn’t call us to raise our children based on convenience. You called us to lead. Strengthen us where we feel weak. Give us endurance where we feel tired. Give us boldness where we’ve been avoiding correction. Remind us that we are not just parents… We are cycle breakers. What we allow, our children will continue. What we correct, we change for generations. Today we declare: We will hold the line. We will lead our homes with wisdom and consistency. We will not shrink back from the responsibility You’ve given us. Give us the strength to parent with both love and structure. In Jesus’ name, Amen. If this prayer is for you today, comment: “I will hold the line.”

El Roi, Today we stand in who you are, the God who sees us. Just as you saw Hagar in the wilderness, you see every parent who feels overwhelmed, tired, or stretched beyond their strength today. Lord Jesus, so many of us carry burdens that no one else sees, the weight of providing, the worry over our children’s future, the emotional load of holding a family together. The battle with self, the self-sabotaging thoughts and the moments where we struggle with our identity in you, smiling on the outside while a storm brews on the inside of us. Lord I pray that you steady our hearts today and help us to “cast all our cares upon you because you care for us.” (1 Peter 5:7) Father, we lay every burden at your feet today, we lean into your grace, and we ask Daddy that carry us. For the parent who feels exhausted renew their strength according to Isaiah 40:31. For the parent who feels inadequate remind them that your grace is sufficient, and your power is made perfect in all weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9). For the parent carrying financial stress, emotional strain, or silent tears be their provider, their peace, and their rest. Lord, help us to remember your call to come to you when we are burdened, and you will give us rest. Today we choose to release the pressure of trying to control everything, trying to do so many things on our own. Lord, we surrender our children, our homes, our finances, our spiritual lives, our purpose and our future into your capable hands. Fill every parent with wisdom, patience, and supernatural peace as we do our best to lead those you have entrusted in our care. Remind us that we were chosen for our children on purpose. When the days feel long and the nights feel heavy, remind our hearts that we are not carrying this alone. Thank you, Father, for walking with us, strengthening us, and covering our families. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

After posting about my publishing class, I received a lot of messages from parents saying the same thing: “I really want to write a book… I just don’t know where to start.” Some of you have a story in your heart.Some of you have a message for children.Some of you know the lesson you want kids to learn… But getting started feels overwhelming. So today I’m going to help............................ I’m opening 10 sponsored ghostwriting spots for parents in this community who want help getting their children’s book started. ⚠️ Let me be clear about what this is. This is not the entire publishing process. This is me helping you bring your idea to life and get your story FINISHED so you can take the next step. Because I can only take a few projects at a time, I’m opening 10 starter spots for parents in this community. WHY ASHLEYYYY? Because I want to help some of you finally move from idea to action. If you want one of the spots, comment below and tell me: 1️⃣ Why would having your story ghostwritten help you finally move forward? 2️⃣ What type of children’s book would you want to create? 3️⃣ How could your story impact the next generation of children? I’ll review the comments and choose 10 parents within the next 24 hours. This opportunity is only open today. Some of you have been sitting on your story for years. Maybe today is the day you finally start.
