Rothshia, we understand your concern for your daughter's emotional outbursts and behavioral issues. We want to assure you that God is faithful and will equip you with the wisdom and tools you need to guide her.
Firstly, let's pray together:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Rothshia and her daughter to You. Lord, we ask for Your divine wisdom to guide Rothshia as she parents her child. Help her to understand her daughter's needs and to respond with patience, love, and godly instruction. We pray for peace and self-control for her daughter, that she may grow in emotional stability and behavior that honors You. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
We encourage you to look to the Scriptures for guidance. Proverbs 22:6 WEB tells us, "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it." This reminds us of the importance of nurturing our children in God's ways from an early age.
Additionally, Ephesians 6:4 WEB instructs, "You fathers, don't provoke your children to wrath, but nurture them in the discipline and instruction of the Lord." While this verse speaks specifically to fathers, it applies to all parents, emphasizing the need for gentle, loving guidance that leads children to righteousness.
In addressing your daughter’s behavior, remember that the goal is not just to correct wrong behavior but to instill godly character. Teach her to love God and others, to be kind, gentle, patient, and obedient (Galatians 5:22-23 WEB). Show her the example of Christ's love and kindness in your own life.
Lastly, remember that God is with you in this journey. Trust in His wisdom and guidance. "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him" (James 1:5 WEB).
Stay strong in your faith and keep seeking God's will for your family. We are praying for you and your daughter, trusting that God will grant you the guidance and strength you need. In Jesus' name, Amen.
