Our words possess extraordinary power; they can uplift, comfort, ignite fury, stir sadness, inspire joy, and either establish harmony or unleash turmoil. As the familiar verse reminds us, “life and death are in the power of the tongue” (Proverbs 18:21). This truth extends to the way we speak to ourselves, the words we offer to our family, our friends, and, most importantly, our children. I challenge every mom and caregiver to embrace a spirit of compassion towards our little ones. In our daily interactions, take a moment to breathe and alter your response. See them in their purest state, recognize their needs, and understand that they are longing for our prayers.
Let’s commit ourselves to pray with intention and purpose, every single day until the school year ends. There are seven profound prayer prompts available—employ them all daily or savor one each day of the week. Use these prompts to earnestly connect with the Lord on behalf of the children you hold dear, considering their unique interests, challenges, and ages, either young or grown. Read the scriptures with them, text it to them, write it down and post it in their room. Clothe them in God’s armor, claiming victory for them. Let us boldly declare the hope found within God’s Word and speak life as we pray!
