Summary

In the book Parenting by Paul David Tripp he writes... “God has given you authority for the work of change but has not granted you the power to make that change happen.”This is so encouraging for us as parents to know its no up to us! Yes, there are things we are called to do as parents but as long as we are showing up and living out our calling each day, the rest is up to God. So what does this mean for us today? I want to leave you with a few takeaways: 1. Release control: You can stop carrying the burden of trying to change your child’s heart. That’s not yours to carry. 2. Be faithful in the small things: Model kindness, set consistent boundaries, teach scripture, and guide with love. That is your role. 3. Pray continually: Every time you’re tempted to “fix” your child, turn that into a prayer: “Lord, I’ve done my part. Please do what only You can do.” 4. Trust the process: Parenting is a long journey. The seeds you plant today may not bloom until years from now. But God is faithful. And if you believe that God is faithful then you have to trust him to take care of your child just as he is trusting you with them today.If you'd like to purchase the book to follow along for the coming weeks I'll link it below. Using this link will help to support my family and I thank you!https://amzn.to/42nXJVe
