THE POWER OF PRAYER
In the early days of the church, when the Christians faced problems, they turned to God in prayer and were rewarded with the power of the Holy Spirit. Imagine this scene, where the room in which the people were praying "shook" with the power of God! Time after time, the Bible instructs us to pray and promises us the power of the Spirit, yet we often depend on our own strength to handle the problems of life, including parenting.
How much easier it is to surrender our children and ourselves to God, and rely on the Spirit to empower us to deal with our trials. It takes faith however. A lack of faith causes us to rely on our own power rather than on the Holy Spirit.
Model a belief in the power of prayer and faith in God as you face parenting challenges.
