Parenting By Prayer

Tonight, I was reminded of 2 things that I often forget. The first one, I don’t forget as much, since there are so many sinners in our house:

1. Anyone one of us Magness people can have meltdowns or fall apart at any moment. Any sweet moment can become a nightmare in just a few breaths.

2. What Paul Miller said is true: “It didn’t take me long to realize that I did my best parenting by prayer. I began to speak less to the kids and more to God. It was actually quite relaxing.”

Parents, hang in there. Pray, love, and then keep praying. Jesus will do His work in your kids’ hearts and in yours.
