Dear God,
You have shown me that I need a miracle with my parenting! I fall so incredibly short as a mother of my children. So, just as the boy brought his fish and loaves of bread to You expecting a miracle, I am bringing what little I can offer as a mom and asking for a miracle. I fail daily to be who I need to be for Addy and Ashton! I cannot do parenting without You! Thank you for reminding me that You are completely capable of miracles. You ask, ” Do you have faith?” I am responding, “YES, LORD!”
In the waiting, I am concentrating on being a mom who has I Corinthians 13 love for my children. I will be patient, I will be kind. I will not envy, I will not boast, I will not be proud. I will not be rude, self-seeking, easily angered, or keep a record of wrongs. I will not delight in evil but rejoice with the truth. I will always protect, trust, hope, and persevere.
Forgive me for being the opposite of this in so many areas (especially today!) I trust that as I concentrate on giving You all that I am, You will give me a “Then He . . .” (Matthew 9:29) moment. Thank you for being worthy of my faith and able to do more than I can even ask or imagine (Ephesians 3:20).
Your child,
Angie
My sweet daughter,
You are an AMAZING mom, wife, daughter and friend, but I totally understand how you’re feeling. You are right where your Father God wants you, realizing your total dependence upon Him and asking for His help. How thankful I am that God blessed me with you as my firstborn!
