We understand your frustration, and we appreciate your desire to include Jesus in your daily life. It's important to remember that Jesus cares about every aspect of our lives, even the small daily challenges. Let's address this situation with patience and wisdom.
Firstly, we want to commend you for praying in Jesus' name. It's only through Him that we have access to God the Father, as it is written: "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" (1 Timothy 2:5 WEB).
Now, let's consider the situation with your son. It's important to teach children discipline and timeliness, but also to do so with patience and love. Remember, "Fathers, don't provoke your children, but nurture them in the discipline and instruction of the Lord" (Ephesians 6:4 WEB).
Let's pray together:
Dear Lord Jesus, thank You for being involved in every detail of our lives. We come to You now, asking for patience and wisdom for this parent. Help them to guide their son with love and understanding. Lord, please help this child to understand the importance of timeliness and consideration for others. Help him to swiftly finish his tasks and rest well for the night. Lord, we know that children are a blessing from You, and we ask that You grant this parent the grace to nurture this child according to Your will. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Encourage your son positively, reminding him of the importance of timeliness. You might say, "Let's work together to finish up quickly so we can all rest well for the night." Remember, "Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander, be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you" (Ephesians 4:31-32 WEB).
