Father God, We come before You this morning asking You to deal with rebellion not just in our children, but in us as parents. If there is any spirit of rebellion, defiance, or resistance trying to operate in our homes, we rebuke it in the name of Jesus. Our homes will not be filled with confusion, disorder, or constant power struggles. But Lord, before we only look at our children… Show us ourselves. Show us where we have been inconsistent. Show us where we have avoided correction. Show us where we have led out of emotion instead of wisdom. Remind us that we are our children’s first teacher. What we model… they learn. What we allow… they repeat. What we correct… we change. So if there is any rebellion in our homes, give us the humility to ask: “Did I teach this in some way?” Not to shame us… but to grow us. Teach us how to lead with authority and consistency. Teach us how to correct without anger. Teach us how to build respect in our homes the right way. We don’t just want obedient children… We want homes built on truth, order, and understanding. So start with us, Lord. Refine us. Correct us. Strengthen us. So we can lead our children the way You’ve called us to. In Jesus’ name, Amen. If this prayer is for you today, comment: “Start with me, Lord.”

Some of you are not just tired…you’re bound. Bound to your past. Bound to what happened to you. Bound to old pain, old labels, old versions of yourself. And you’re still showing up every day…parenting…working…functioning… But internally?.......... you’re still in it. This reminds me of Book of John 11… When Lazarus was in the tomb. Dead.Wrapped.Buried. And Jesus stood there and said “Lazarus, come forth.” Lazarus was already alive when he came out…...but he was still wrapped. And that’s where a lot of parents are. You’re alive. You love God. You’re showing up. But you’re still wrapped in trauma wrapped in guilt wrapped in shame wrapped in what happened to you So even though you’re out… you’re not FREE..... And then Jesus said something amazing He said “Loose him, and let him go.” That means: The coming out was one step…But the UNWRAPPING was another. So Kingdom Parents..........What are you still wrapped in? Because you can’t fully show up for your children… while you’re still bound to your past. This week isn’t just about mental health…it’s about FREEDOM. And I’m calling you out of it. Not gently. Not when you “feel ready.” NOW. Come out of the guilt. Come out of the shame. Come out of the identity that says “this is just who I am.” Because you’re not who you were. And your children don’t need a perfect parent… they need a FREE one. If you’re ready to come out of it… Comment: “I’m coming out.”

Father God, I’m tired. Not just physically…But mentally and emotionally. Today took more out of me than I expected. The constant questions…the correcting…the noise…the pressure to keep showing up… It’s a lot. But before I carry this into tomorrow…I give it to You.Renew me, Lord. Restore my patience.Restore my mind.Restore my strength. Because I don’t want to pour into my children from an empty place. Help me release the moments I didn’t get right today. The times I was short. The times I felt overwhelmed. The times I wanted to check out. Remind me that I don’t have to be perfect… I just have to stay willing.....Give me rest tonight that actually restores me. Not just sleep…but peace. And prepare me for tomorrow. So I can show up again…with clarity, patience, and strength. In Jesus’ name, Amen. If this prayer is for you tonight, comment: Lord, restore me.

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.

So many of us who are raising kids without our child’s other parent present have gotten used to calling ourselves “single parents.” But I had to step back and ask myself… Am I really “single”?Or have I just accepted a label God never gave me? Because let’s be real...sometimes the word single can feel like: • less than• rejected• unseen• unappreciated• left to do life alone But God NEVER called you “less than.” He calls you: Set apart.Chosen.Beloved child.Redeemed.Forgiven.A friend of God.His workmanship. So today I’m being honest… I’ve called myself a “single mom” FAR too much.And it stops today. Because I am not abandoned.I am not forgotten.I am not unloved. ✨ I am a CHOSEN mother.✨ I am a REDEEMED mother. And you.... yes YOU...YOU ARE 🧡 a chosen father🧡 a chosen mother🧡 a redeemed father🧡 a redeemed mother🧡 a SET APART parent Be careful what you label yourself.....because words carry weight. So watch your mouth when you talk about God’s chosen…and guess what? YOU are chosen. You are not raising those babies alone.God IS your help.And He is sending you help... in His time, in His way. Help is on the way.Wait patiently… not as someone abandoned…but as someone FULLY LOVED, FULLY COVERED, and FULLY CHOSEN. With your beautiful / handsome self. 🧡
