When your child is struggling in school

Psalm 127:3

Children are a gift from the Lord, not property to control.

When your child is struggling in school. Nobody puts that on a vision board, but people live it every day. Before you react, ask what this moment is trying to make you believe. Old patterns survive because they move quickly, before truth gets a chance to speak. Your child is deeply loved by you, but belongs to God before they belong to your expectations. Jesus Christ can lead where your control cannot reach. You do not need a dramatic feeling today. You need enough truth to refuse the old script one more time.

Are you seeking wisdom, or are you seeking permission to repeat what is familiar?

Jesus, I do not want an old pattern making today's decision for me. Renew my mind, steady my emotions, and lead me in truth. You are Lord here too. Amen.
