Praying the Psalms over our kids: The key to contentment

Oh contentment, why are you so elusive this time of year? Why do the holidays leave us searching for better presents, bigger wow moments, and flawless family interactions? 

As you may have guessed, we’re praying for contentment this week as we head into the home stretch of Christmas. We’re asking God to remind us that he knows each of our needs before we even realize them, and he’s faithful to provide in the most generous and comprehensive way that’s in our best interests. 

Join me this week as we consider Psalm 34 and what it means to “taste and see” that God is good. Leaning into this truth will help us pray for our kids (and ourselves) to acknowledge that anything and everything that’s good in this life is from God—and his provision is perfect.
