Of course I can read a book about how to raise a teenager, but how much better is it that God Himself would teach me?!
This morning I opened up in prayer to wait on God and “felt” some distance in my relationship with Him and so I asked Him to search my life and tell me why. An image of my unbecoming reaction to my saucy pre-teen came in mind and resulted in a beautiful prayer time of allowing God’s Word to pierce my heart and reform my thinking. I fully expect to have victory as a mom to teenagers! Who is my God??? If I stick with Him and submit myself to HIS parenting help, will He not direct me in the correct way? Why should I think that I am capable of this job? It is already evident that I am NOT capable, so let me be quick about getting a heart change from King Jesus!
I pray this spurs you on in your prayer, not only for teens, but for all the people in our lives. God bless you!
