Prayers From A Mom

So this week we are praying our kids will have healthy eating habits.

ACTION STEPS:

Assess your own healthy habits. Is there anything you need to cut out or add to be a better role model to your kids?

Decrease These: Junk food, Fast food, Soda, Sweets, Alcohol, Drugs

Instead Try: Natural/Whole Foods, Home-cooked Meals, Water, Sugar From Fruit, Exercise

Don't try everything at once. Pick one thing to improve/model for your kids and then when that becomes a new habit, try something else.

I started with dinner, then eventually changed our breakfast. After a while, I focused on lunch and snacks. A year from now, your family's healthy habits could look a lot different.

We are not perfect at this but we are way better off than we were a couple of years ago.

Remember the ABCs from 'Diets Don't Work - This Does!' when it comes to praying about our health.

A: Ask for wisdom.

B: Believe God is working in this area.

C: Check your motives.

FOCUSED PRAYER:

Father, I pray my kids are wise about the things they put in their bodies. Help them see how beautiful and complex you made them, inside and out. Help me lead by example in the areas I am in charge of in our house. Your word says when we ask for wisdom, you will give it to us. If there are things that I am putting in my body that are harmful, help me see how I can do better. Show me how to make small changes that will make large impacts years from now. Break any chains of addictions causing my children harm!

In Jesus Name, Amen!

SCRIPTURES TO PRAY THIS WEEK:

Psalms 139:14 Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it.

James 1:5 And if anyone longs to be wise, ask God for wisdom and he will give it! He won't see your lack of wisdom as an opportunity to scold you over your failures but he will overwhelm your failures with his generous grace.

John 10:10 A thief has only one thing in mind—he wants to steal, slaughter, and destroy. But I have come to give you everything in abundance, more than you expect—life in its fullness until you overflow!

James 1:6 Just make sure you ask empowered by confident faith without doubting that you will receive. For the ambivalent person believes one minute and doubts the next.

As our kids are getting settled into school, we wanted to share with you this bonus episode with one of my favorite teachers, Chris Gibson.

We talk about living a life of gratitude for the things we take for granted on a regular basis. Chris raised 2 amazing boys by herself, she is very active in her church and her family has a heart for mission trips.

What started as her youngest son's heart being shaken by an African Children's Choir that visited her church, turned into a passion to love and serve the community they represented.

Today we live in a world where our kids have anything and everything at their fingertips, often they don't realize there is a world out there where kids have to walk miles to get water to drink.

School is a privilege the kids in Uganda and Kenya don't take lightly. The children there have very little according to our western culture standards, yet they exude more joy for life than I have ever seen.

If this spoke to you and you'd like more info on Daraja Children's Choir, check it out here.

Chris also mentions a new ministry her family has begun to assist called the Happy Bean Project.

You can get more info on how they help the homeless with mental health issues in Houston, Texas, check it out here.

CHRISTIAN PARENTING IN A BLENDED FAMILY

This week we are asking God to help us find the root of anxiety in our kids and family. I'm tired of the enemy using anxiety to hurt those we love. I don't have all the answers but we are calling on the one who does.

Action Steps:

This week, take time to ask God to shine a light on the root issue of our children's anxiety. Ask God these hard questions.

Is there anything I can do to help my child feel less anxious?

What seems to trigger the anxiety?

Does my child need to get professional help?

Is there anything I am doing as a mom to cause the anxiety?

I believe God will begin to show you things. He wants your child to experience peace and joy even more than you do. But remember sometimes when we pray for things, situations surface and it may seem like a bad thing, but it's actually exposing the root.

Be on the lookout with an open heart and mind.

Focused Prayer:

Father, I know you love my kids even more than I do. You tell me to give all my worries and cares to you because you care. I am concerned about my children's mental health. You take care of the birds and the flowers, how much more will you look out for my kids. You left them with the gift of the Holy Spirit that gives them peace of mind and heart. Help them reject the lies of the enemy and discover the power, love, and self-discipline that comes from you. Father, reveal the lies the enemy is telling my kids so that we can get to the root of the problem. Show me how to help my children overcome anxiety. Let me be someone in their life that lifts them up instead of weighing them down. If there is anything that we can do in our home to help, show me. If it is completely out of my hands, I trust that you are taking care of every last detail.

In Jesus Name, Amen!

Scriptures to Pray This Week:

Philippians 4:6 Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.

Matthew 6:25 That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life—whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn't life more than food, and your body more than clothing?

John 14:27 I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don't be troubled or afraid.

2 Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity but of power, love, and self-discipline.

Proverbs 12:25 Worry weighs a person down; an encouraging word cheers a person up.

1 Peter 5:7 Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.
