This Week’s Reflection
He has given us a sound mind. His joy, is our strength.
I woke up this morning feeling the weight of it. The unseen battle happening beneath the surface, beliefs being shaped, voices being followed, seeds being planted.
We won’t always have the right words.
We won’t always model it perfectly.
But thankfully, in spite of us, God is faithful.
His Spirit fills the gaps between our intention and our reality.
His presence hovers over our homes even when we forget to ask.
It’s not just about managing behavior or limiting screen time. It’s about praying their minds into peace. Praying their hearts into joy. Praying their spirits into refuge. Both now, and for their future selves.
Because joy isn’t just a feeling.
It’s a fortress. Joy is being hidden under His wings. His joy is our shield.
So we ask the Lord to plant truth where lies once took root. That the Holy Spirit would fill the atmosphere with peace where anxiety used to live. That God would make our homes a place where His voice is easy to hear.
We don’t fight flesh and blood. But we are not without weapons.
Prayer is our strategy. The Holy Spirit is our help. And His joy is our strength.
Scripture for the Week
“For God has not given us a spirit of fear,
but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”
2 Timothy 1:7 (NKJV)
Prayer for Our Children’s Minds
Heavenly Father,
Thank You for the promise of a sound mind.
We lift up our children to You and ask You to shape their thoughts, their beliefs, their identity in You.
Let Your truth take root where lies have tried to grow.
Fill our homes with Your tangible presence and Your peace.
May joy flood every corner, strong, healing and holy.
Guard our children’s minds from fear.
Protect them from comparison, confusion, and despair.
Give them ears to hear Your voice, clearer than all the noise around them.
And Lord, make us, as their parents, faithful.
Help us speak words that build, not break.
Make us women of prayer, and carriers of Your Peace.
Fill our homes with Your Spirit, and lead us in the way everlasting.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen.
