“Do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged.”
(Colossians 3:21 ESV)
Father,
I know my actions can provoke You like my child provokes me, but You always deal with me in a loving way.
Help me do the same with my child.
Teach me to be gentle yet firm when instructing them, and give me the patience I need.
In Jesus’ name I pray,
Amen.
