What is a prayer I can say to pray for patience with my child? How to practice patience as a mom? What you can do to stop yelling at your child.

My 17-month-old knows exactly how to get a reaction out of me. So lately, before I react, I've been praying first.

I thought that prayer was for him. Then I realized God was using it to show me my own heart.

In this episode we look at the split-second prayer Nehemiah prayed before answering a king, what James 1:19-20 says about anger, and what Solomon asked God for when he felt unprepared to lead. If you've been praying for patience as a mom, or wondering how to stop yelling at your kids, this one is for you.
