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.

What My Toddler's (Amaranth) Porridge Bowl Taught Me About Trusting God

This morning my baby cried over what was left in his bowl, while there was more left on the counter.

He wasn't crying because there wasn't any more. He was crying because he couldn't see it.

And I realized I do the exact same thing; we all do.

Which means the teaching had already started, I just wasn't counting it.
