Sometimes a song can help. Sometimes the Jesus Prayer keeps me sane.
Some days I need to ask forgiveness. Some days I can only breathe.
But on the rare bright days, I can see clearly how the work of parenting is prayer and the prayer of parenting is work. Ora et labora.
Here are a few of my favorite prayers for everyday parenting:
- a prayer for peace amidst the chaos of a messy home
- a prayer for trying to listen to our children
- a prayer for the frustration of wrangling young kids at church
- a prayer for nursing
- a prayer for baptism anniversaries
What prayers for parenting do you love? What prayers do you need?
