Parenting: The 14 Gospel Principles

DAY 13 OF 14

Rest

If you are struggling to be patient, finding it hard to be joyful, and sometimes dreading the next day of parenting, could it be that your struggle to be tender and loving toward your children is rooted in the reality that you are overburdened and overwhelmed? Could it be that in your attempt to be a tool of grace in the lives of your children, you have lost sight of the amazing resources of grace that are the gift of the Father to all of his children?

Perhaps in all your work to be used of God to produce children who know what it means to rest in his wisdom and grace, you have forgotten how to rest yourself.

—Paul David Tripp

About this Plan

Parenting: The 14 Gospel Principles

In this 14-day devotional, Crossway is partnering with Paul David Tripp to lead you toward becoming the parent God wants you to be. Each daily devotion features a specific parenting principle that can radically change your family. You will learn about calling, grace, law, inability, identity, process, lost, authority, foolishness, character, false gods, control, rest, and mercy. Our hope is that you discover, embrace, and live out the joy of biblical parenting in your home.
