A Prayer for Listening to Our Children with Love by Rachael Hartzell

Think about the power of listening well. In this episode by, Rachael Hartzell, we look at Proverbs 18:13 –14 as a foundation, we explore how impatience and inattentiveness can unintentionally crush the spirit of those we love, and how God’s example of patient, joyful listening invites us to do better.God delights in listening to His children, and we are called to mirror that same attentive love in our homes.

Reference: Proverbs 18:13-14

Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, it can be so easy for me to choose impatience and careless words when I’m not in the mood to listen to my child. In those moments when I am weary and my patience is thin, please strengthen me to respond and listen with the loving gentleness and patience that I find in Your presence. In Jesus’ name, amen.
