7 Day No More Yelling Moms Devotionalનમૂનો

CHALLENGE 7: 

Think, before you speak!

Sometimes, pausing for a few minutes to consider the words we are about to say is all it takes to get control of our tongues. 

We can even say to our child,  “Son, I need a minute to respond. I’ll come to you when I’m ready to talk.” This allows us time to think through an answer and gives to think wisely--not just on the fly when we might say things we regret or make promises we can’t keep. 

This simple act of thinking before speaking is a discipline for us as moms, but it is useful in other relationships too. Sometimes, I am on the verge of saying the wrong thing and the Holy Spirit nudges me. If I push past that nudge, I regret it. Better to stop and reconsider my words! 

ONE LAST THOUGHT:

It’s my hope and prayer that as we finish this final 7th day of the No More Yelling Moms Challenge, we have seen the value of slowing down, developing self-control, and breathing life into our children with gracious words. Persevere moms! Yelling habits formed over time. Gentle habits will take time too. Time will pass, regardless, so let’s step into the future with a renewed commitment to stop yelling, that we may indeed, be no more yelling moms! 

LET’S PRAY:

“Dear God, You have helped me begin to change into a more calm and gracious mom. Thank You! Continue this new work in my heart and help me to never raise my voice in anger to my kids. I love them and I thank You for giving them to me. Lord, I commit to allowing Your Holy Spirit to continue to cleanse my heart and my mouth. In Jesus’ Name, Amen!
