I feel like I have been short tempered and impatient lately. I feel a heavy burden of stress and I need to let go and just let God. I have been on edge on a lot of things and I just need prayer that I would put my focus on what truly matters. I want to be a healthy and understanding parent to my children (Faith 12 yrs & Ezra 6 yrs). I don’t want to let whatever stresses I’m going through to get in the way of me being there for my kids as they need me. I pray for guidance and that God whom is the perfect parent would see me where I’m failing and help me be better. I love my children dearly but I have not been showing it. I want to breathe and live in the moment with what truly matters and it’s them. I go to work at 8 and get home at 5:30ish and am already tired/stressed and become unavailable mentally and I just want to put outside worries away from the home and devote the time after work on them and reading my word. I have a demanding job and have been neglecting the reading of God’s word as well. I make it to church and studies and thats the only times I actually open my Bible. Side prayer would be to manage my time so that I can fill up on God’s word and pour into my children.
