Prayer today

Praying, today...

that I will face

every whine
every act of disobedience
every disagreement
every bit of grumpiness
every interruption
every accident
every complaint

as a challenge:

What will I do with this moment, right now, to honor and glorify God?

There are a lot of those moments in my day, just waiting for me to respond to. May I respond rightly.

I will pray it for you, too.

  1. How true and perfect. It is about my attitude and how I choose to respond, just as I try to teach my children

  3. Ohhhhh, Stacy... amen and amen! It seems like the longer I am a mom, the more I need that prayer!

  4. I will pray with you and for you, too, Stacy!

    My first thought as I woke up this morning was asking the Father to help me be a blessing to my sweeties today. In that, of course, are the laughter, smiles and hugs, the taking time to play - but also the being consistent, checking heart attitudes again and again and again (mine included).

    Love you! Thanks for this post :)

  5. So, I'm a "lurker", but just had to comment. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this!
    I thank you for this post, for the reminder, for the inspiration.
    I have prayed for you today on numerous occasions as I find myself challenged in these situations with my own children.
    What a wonderful God-fearing mother you are, with such beautiful children entrusted to your care!
