Helping Our Kids Take Their Thoughts Captive_Day 3

Join our Weekly Newsletter HERE.

So this week we will read through Philippians 1-4. Taking one chapter each day. As Paul speaks to the church and encourages them on their faith walk, we will use Paul's model and do the same for our kids.

ACTION STEPS:

1) Find ways this week to let your kids know how special God has made them. Give them specific examples.

2) Plan time to have some one-on-one "shoulder time" with your kids. Shoulder time consists of activities where you don't have to make eye contact while talking. Examples: taking a walk, riding in the car, cooking together, working on a project.

3) Help your child open up by asking questions that allow for open-ended answers. (Need suggestions, message me)

4) Listen to Prayers From a Mom Podcast this week Monday-Thursday to learn more about Paul's way of encouraging others and pray with us that our kids learn to take their thoughts captive.

FOCUSED PRAYER:

Father,

My heart breaks when I see my kids hurting. I hate that they think of themselves as less than. I know how wonderfully complex you made them and I want them to see that too. I don't want them to be pulled in different directions or worried about a thing. I know it's hard for me, so I understand it's hard for them too. Help me teach them what it's like to be saturated in prayer throughout each day, offering their faith-filled requests before you God with overflowing gratitude. I want them to learn to lean on you and tell you every detail of their life. Then your wonderful peace that transcends human understanding, will guard their heart and mind through Jesus Christ. Help my children keep their thoughts continually fixed on all that is authentic and real, honorable and admirable, beautiful and respectful, pure and holy, merciful and kind. I pray they put into practice the example of all that they have heard from me or seen in my life and you-the God of peace will be with my children in all things.

In Jesus Name, Amen!
