BONUS: Praying patience for our kids

“The only thing getting thin during this quarantine is my patience.” – Author Unknown

I don’t know who said this, but I give it a resounding amen as we kick off week nine of sheltering in place. Who’s with me?

This week we’re praying patience over our kids, and I’m guessing few of us feel qualified to teach anyone a lesson in patience these days. Thankfully the Lord models his great patience in dealing with us and guides us with grace as we attempt to raise kids in this fruit of the spirit.

As we consider what patience looks like for our kids, we naturally think about it in the context of their siblings, friends, teammates, and especially their parents. But take a few minutes to listen to our podcast today as Kay Wyma joins me to talk about an even deeper level of praying patience for our kids – the discipline of waiting patiently for the Lord’s hand in their lives.

Praying and abundance of patience with you and for you this week!

Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Ephesians 4:2
