After a long, grueling and taxing work day take some time to restore your mind with this simple prayer…
Father, clear my sleepy head and fill my mind with expectation. Awake my slow body and energize my heart with love in action. Ignite my spirit and set this day on fire with promise. Make the ordinary extraordinary. Engage me, show me your kingdom alive. Help me to see that every waking moment is full of promise because of you. Amen.
We survive our troubles to provide for those in need; therefore, single parents are encouraged to build meaningful and positive relationships with people other than their children. These friendships serve as a foundation to build the support system needed in a one parent home. This is by design and not open for discussion or debate. It is a master plan to aid in village growth. The same village that helps protect their children.
“God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging.” (Psalms 46 1-3 NIV).
Difficult times breed life lessons which result in personal elevation. Once the difficult time, known as a TEST, has passed it becomes a TESTimony. It is our responsibility to share this testimony with someone in need.
Keep giving! Keep living! Keep thriving!
What is your TEST? Share your TESTimony in the comments section and be a blessing to other single parents.
It is in the center of nowhere that the best is found. Single parents, I encourage you to read the statement below and embrace the moments of emptiness. It is acceptable to be still, be patient, and just be.
A parent, especially a single one, needs to be filled and fueled, daily. It is necessary to take time to speak positive affirmations, meditate and find a center – the place in one”s mind that brings tranquility. Be very intentional when refocusing and birthing good thoughts. Watch how much calmer, patient and productive you are. Try reading this Single Parent’s Prayer to start the day and then share your personal positive results with me in the comments section of this page.
