Welcome back to the kitchen table. For so long, Bethany believed her children were a reflection of her efforts. If they behaved well, if they were happy, if they met expectations—she felt like she had done her job. And if they struggled? She carried that, too, as if their challenges were proof of her failure.

Bethany was looking for a product. Measuring, managing, and holding the weight of an outcome she was never meant to control. But God never asked her to create a finished product. He called her to walk with him in the process.

Ephesians 2:10 reminds her that her children are his workmanship, just as she is. Colossians 2:6-7 reminds her to stay rooted in faith, trusting that he is the one shaping their path.

Your children are not a product. They are in process—with him. And so are you.

Welcome back to the kitchen table. Motherhood comes with pressure—the kind that doesn’t just disappear. Bethany felt it too. The weight of raising good kids, having good days, and building a good life. But that pressure can mount quickly, and when it does, anxiety rises.

So where do we run when it feels unbearable?

Philippians 4:6-7 reminds us that God offers peace that steadies our hearts and minds. He doesn’t ask us to carry it all alone. He wants to lift the weight. Bethany had to learn that, and maybe today, you need the reminder too. Let Him.

Welcome back to the kitchen table. Parenting has been a journey of growth for Bethany. Looking back, there are a few things she wishes she could have told her younger self.

In those early years of motherhood, she often found herself overwhelmed by fear, worry, and the constant question, "Am I doing this right?" It was easy to become paralyzed by the thought of making a mistake, but Bethany knows now that those feelings were real and part of the process.

When emotions felt too heavy to manage, Bethany turned to Psalm 27. It became a place of peace and reassurance during times of uncertainty. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by emotions, know you’re not alone.

Welcome back to the kitchen table. Bethany continues praying through Ephesians 3:14-21, we focus on the final two concepts: that our children would know the love of Christ and be filled with the fullness of God.

To know his love is more than just believing—it’s experiencing it personally, in a way that never stops. A love so deep and real that it shapes how they live and who they become.

We ask God to make this real for them. That he would fill them, again and again, shaping them, molding them, making them a reflection of who he is. That their hearts would never stop reaching for him, never stop being filled by him.

Bethany encourages you to go deeper with God—he invites you to pray this over your children. He longs for them to know him, to walk with him, and to be filled by him.

Welcome back to the kitchen table. Bethany is on the third day of diving deeper into Ephesians 3:14-21, breaking it down into six key concepts and praying them over our children. Today, the focus is on truly understanding—grasping the depth of God’s love in a way that becomes unshakable truth.

We are asking God to help our children not just hear about his love, but to know it. To hold onto it so firmly that no experience, doubt, or lie of the enemy can shake it. That they understand the breath, length, height, and depth of his love—not just as words, but as the foundation of their faith.

He has taken all of their sin. Nothing separates them from him.

Welcome back to the kitchen table. As we continue praying Ephesians 3:14-21 for our children, we pray that the Holy Spirit will dwell in their hearts. This is more than just a surface-level prayer—it’s asking for Christ to be deeply rooted in their minds and wills.

We are praying for Christ to be united with them, knowing they can’t be okay without him. We’re asking for them to be rooted and grounded in love—a love that serves as the soil in which they’re planted, and the foundation they’re built upon.

When we are rooted in love, it’s the love of God that produces fruit in our lives.

Welcome back to the kitchen table. As parents, we can pray powerful prayers for our children, asking God to strengthen them in ways we can’t. In Ephesians 3:14, we’re reminded to pray that God empowers our children through his spirit.

This prayer invites God to work actively within them, filling them with his strength and presence. It’s a reminder that God is always at work in our children, empowering them every day.

Welcome back to the kitchen table. The constant grumbling from our kids—whether it’s about dinner, chores, or not getting their way—can be exhausting. Complaining wears us down, but more importantly, it reveals a deeper issue.

Bethany walks us through Philippians 2:14, showing that complaining isn’t just about words—it’s a heart posture that rejects what’s been given and dishonors God’s design. “Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure.”

So where do we start? With prayer. Repentance begins with us. Pray for your child’s heart to soften, for gratitude to take root, and for God to shape us as we lead them with humility.

Welcome back to the kitchen table. Have you ever wondered if you’re praying enough? Doing enough? That nagging voice that says, “you’re terrible at this”—that’s not from God.

“If we are faithless, He remains faithful.” —2 Timothy 2:13

God doesn’t turn away when you struggle. His love isn’t conditional. His mercy holds you, even when you fall short. He’s not asking for perfection—he’s calling you to trust him.

Instead of striving, pause. Lay down the pressure to be “enough” and ask him, “where are you calling me deeper?” Then wait, listen, and rest in his presence. Because his faithfulness has never depended on you—it’s who he is.

Welcome back to the kitchen table. Parenting isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about walking with God through every moment. 2 Corinthians 4:5-8 reminds me that I’m not doing this alone. Instead of relying on my own wisdom, I ask, “Lord, what would you have me do?” and trust him to guide me.

Right now, that looks like inviting him into your conversations with your kids, leaning on his promises, and surrendering your plans at his feet. It’s not about us—it’s about parenting with him your side, leading the way.
