Soul Secrets of a frustrated mother Lord, Iam finally bringing this pain to You. I do not know what to do. Parenting is tough! Forgive me for criticizing my parents. I never knew how difficult their job was. Now, all my ideas about children and parenting have shipwrecked. I'm sorting through the debris of my mistakes, looking for YOUR direction. At times, I have acted me childish than the children. I have not been a witness behind closed doors. My temper and my attitudes have not reflected YOU. My lack of control and other shortcomings have come back to haunt me through my children, and I do not like it. I know that YOU are the MASTER paren. You such patience and such wisdom with me. Help me to reflect those same graces as I raise my children. You are great at loving damaged children who often fail. Make me the kind of parent to my children that YOU are to me. Iam through trying to control things that are in YOYR hands. I repent of my worry and I trust YOU now to strengthen our relationship with each other and with YOU. Help me to appreciate the good things will work out. I claim the promise of the scripture that says "all things work together for good" to those who love the LORD. Thank you for being my DADDY. I leave my troubles in the lap YOUR LOVE.
