Seek guidance from God in your parenting from "summary" of 1-2-3 Magic for Christian Parents by Thomas W. Phelan
As parents, we are faced with countless decisions and challenges on a daily basis. It can be overwhelming to navigate the waters of parenting, especially when we are bombarded with conflicting advice from various sources. In the midst of this chaos, it is essential to remember to turn to God for guidance in our parenting journey. By seeking His wisdom and direction, we can find clarity and strength to make the best decisions for our children. God has a plan for each of us, including our children. He knows them intimately and loves them unconditionally. When we invite Him into our parenting, we are acknowledging His sovereignty and trusting in His perfect will. This doesn't mean that we won't face difficulties or struggles, but it does mean that we can have peace knowing that God is with us every step of the way. One way to seek guidance from God in our parenting is through prayer. By taking the time to pray and listen to God's voice, we can gain insight and wisdom that will help us navigate the challenges of raising children. Whether it's asking for patience, wisdom, or discernment, God is always ready to listen to our prayers and guide us in the right direction. Another important way to seek guidance from God in our parenting is by studying His Word. The Bible is filled with timeless wisdom and practical advice on how to raise children in a way that honors God. By immersing ourselves in Scripture and meditating on its teachings, we can gain a deeper understanding of God's plan for our families.- Seeking guidance from God in our parenting is about surrendering our will to His and trusting in His plan for our children. It requires humility, faith, and a willingness to follow God's leading even when it may not align with our own desires. By submitting to God's authority and seeking His guidance in all aspects of our parenting, we can rest assured that we are on the right path.
