I woke up this morning and read this devotion from my friend, Lysa TerKeurst of Proverbs 31 Ministriesand knew I just had to share it with you because of this paragraph:
“There is something I’ve come to realize I need to guard against as a mom. I sometimes want to be God in my kids’ lives.
I want to write their stories.
I want to set the course for their futures.
I want to determine what’s best for them.
I want to prevent them from ever being hurt.
I want to be their provider and protector.
And I want to be the one to set anyone straight who messes with my kids.”
Oh my! Is she reading my mind?
Lysa goes on to share five prayers to pray for your daughter.
I’m printing out this prayers right now to start praying every day for my girls. Will you join me?

So often as a mom, I feel like my hands are tied to straighten their path; help them make wise choices. I am grateful today for Lysa pointing me again to the most powerful thing I can do as a mom.
Not look for an opportunity for a great conversation.
Not manipulate the circumstances to try to prevent pain.
Not send a book, a verse or anything else I hope they’re read.
The most powerful thing I will do today is pray.
