A Prayer For Clear Identity - For the Family
If you turn on your television or scroll down your social media feed right now, you are bound to run into a story that will leave you heartbroken, devastated and fearful. Because we live in dark times and our lives are so unpredictable, it can leave us scared, especially for our family. This is why it’s imperative that we call on God for His protection. We know that there is evil around us and the only person we can turn to our Father in Heaven. Here is aa prayer for the protection of family.
Identity is a struggle we all experience especially as we grow in our marriage and as we seek to raise our children. This is why our spouses and our children have a profound ability to hurt us. It also defines why they can make us so angry. Our children have the ability to make you hugely proud or deeply embarrassed. These examples are not love struggles; they are identity struggles. A great way to understand identity is through this principle: If you are not resting in your identity in Christ, you will look for identity in other places. Once you fully grasp this, it will change how you see yourself as a spouse and as a parent. It will also change how you interact daily with those in your family:
Prayer:
Dear God, help us to find our identity in You, not in the world.
We know that when we look to You, we live better.
Amen.
It’s so important that the Gospel lives in your heart and shapes how each member of the family relates to each other. When each person in the family lives by these principles, they can better love each other. Parents can parent better according to God’s plan. If you are looking for more Gospel-principles that will radically change the way you think about what it means to raise your child, turn to Scripture.
