Get the app7 Day Devotional for the Stepparent নমুনা
There’s one more “P” you might consider. Prayer. As parent and stepparent you need to constantly bather the process of presenting in prayer. The principles we’ve given you provide a basic road map, but you need God’s wisdom to know when to zig or zag, when to keep going, and when to back up and start again. Prayer will keep you humble and listening. Praying together will keep your hearts connected and unified.
If after reading this study you realize mistakes have been made, regroup as a couple. Talk about what you’ve learned and decide how to proceed. Apologies may need to be made. You may need to recalibrate your roles, expectations, and efforts going forward. You may need to strive to heal specific relationships—maybe even the entire family. Prayerfully develop you plan together and be patient with yourselves as you step into the future.
Something to consider: How are you doing with the five principles of healthy stepparenting? What are strengths right now and which need improvement?

About this Plan
There are seasons where most stepparents feel that they do most of the giving and get very little in return. Stepparenting is hard. A relationship plagued by love conflicts and a child's lower motivation toward love and bonding are usually at the roots of this. For these seven days, learn to get past these stepparenting challenges and get on the road to building love together.
