The visitation order with my soon to be ex is changing on 4/3 and my son will be with his father for 7 hours on Saturday and Sunday. My ex has a substance abuse problem and so does his whole family. They are professing Christian’s but from the outside looking in they are just checking off boxes and are very carnal. Please pray God’s covering and protection over my son and that my he would use his voice to stand tor righteousness and to advocate for himself. Thank you so much in advance.

Father God, We come to You this morning… Not perfect. Not having it all together. But present. Cover our minds today. Every heavy thought… Every anxious feeling… Every moment where we feel overwhelmed… Give us peace. Not temporary peace… but the kind that settles us from the inside out. Cover our children. Their behavior. Their emotions. Their hearts. Where there is defiance, bring understanding. Where there is frustration, bring calm. Where there is distraction, bring focus. Give us wisdom as parents. When to speak. When to be quiet. When to correct. And how to lead without losing ourselves. Cover our work today. Whether we’re at home or outside the home… Give us strength to handle every responsibility without feeling consumed by it. Lord, regulate our emotions. When we feel triggered… slow us down. When we feel tired… renew us. When we feel like giving up… remind us why we started. Help us not to carry yesterday into today. Today is new. New grace. New patience. New opportunities to show up better. And most of all… Help us lead our homes with love, structure, and clarity. We give this day to You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

When was the last time you sat down… and just checked on YOU? Not your kids....Not your responsibilities......Not what needs to get done next. You...... Because a lot of you are moving all day…handling everything…showing up for everybody…And ignoring yourself. You’ll notice when your child is off immediately. But when YOU are off?You push through it. You feel overwhelmed…and keep going. You feel irritated…and keep going. You feel drained…and keep going. And then you wonder why Your patience is short....Your reactions are quick...Your mind feels all over the place It’s because you’re not checking in. Mental health is not just about “fixing problems.” It’s about awareness. How am I feeling right now? What do I need right now? Am I overwhelmed… or just ignoring it? Because if you don’t slow down long enough to notice…it’s going to come out somewhere. In your tone. In your Reaction. In how you show up in your home. And your children will feel it…even if you don’t say a word. So today, pause. Even if it’s for a few minutes. Check in with yourself. Not to judge yourself...Just to be aware. Because you can’t lead your home well…if you’re disconnected from yourself. Let’s talk: When was the last time you actually checked in with YOU?

Imagine you go to work every day… And your boss says: “I’ll pay you at the end of the day.” So Monday comes… no check.Tuesday comes… no check.Wednesday… you get HALF of Monday’s pay.Thursday… nothing.Friday… still nothing. Then they tell you: “Don’t worry, it’s coming next week.” At some point… You’re either: 1. Staying, hoping they get it together OR 2. Leaving because you no longer trust them Why? Because their words don’t match their actions. Now let’s bring it home. This is what we do to our children. We say: “Do that again and I’m taking the tablet.” They do it again… -nothing happens. “We’re going to spend time together.” We get tired… -and don’t. “We’re a praying family.” We pray Monday… -but not Tuesday. We tell them: “Believe in yourself.” But when we’re upset… -we talk down to them. So now your child is learning “They don’t really mean what they say.” And then we wonder why • they don’t listen the first time • they test everything • they don’t take us seriously You’re not just dealing with disobedience…you’re dealing with broken trust. Because authority is not built on what you say… it’s built on what you consistently DO. So let’s make it make sense If your words don’t hold weight…why would your child move when you speak?
