The scars we receive from bullies never fade … even as adults.

Hi, I’m Mark Gregston … with Parenting Today’s Teens.

I’m convinced that the escalating conflicts with bullies will never end … until parents step in and model what’s right. And right now, I’d like to pray for all of us … as we guide our teens.

Father, show us how to help our kids. Teach us to intervene. Like You … allow us to become their great protector. We want to walk beside them if they’re being bullied … and we want to rebuke them if they dare offend others.

Sarcasm and biting criticism are never part of Your character. It’s never Your will that we would willfully offend or hurt the innocent. So help us to become models of Your mercy, love and grace.

Father, empower us to engage our kids as never before. In Your Son’s name we pray. Amen.
