We are not immune to the chaos that swirls around us.

Throughout scripture, we see that God deeply cares about welcoming the stranger, the refugee, and the foreigner. Yet how do we extend that welcome to the neighbors around us, amidst the busyness of parenting and the weight of distressing headlines?

A Prayer for Every Season Sacred

One of the scariest truths about parenting is that so much is out of our control. As the new school year rolls along and our children experience invitations to independence, we’re reminded that we can’t always be there. In this episode, we’re praying to remember God’s trustworthiness and love—and how we might empower our children to experience all that God has written for them.   Kayla’s new book, Every Season Sacred, is an invitation to ask big questions, embrace faithful rhythms, and experience God’s mysterious, loving presence together. You don’t have to have all the answers—and if we’re honest, many answers aren’t ours to have. This is the beauty of faith. <a href="https://kaylacraig.com/preorder/" rel="nofollow">Preorder your copy</a> before September 19, 2023, and get a collection of free gifts!    You can check out Liturgies for Parents on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/liturgiesforparents/?hl=en" rel="nofollow">Instagram</a> for more prayers and encouragement and pick up your own copy of To Light Their Way wherever books are sold.

A Prayer for Struggling with Control

Parenting can be a pressure cooker, revealing the limits of our humanity like nothing else. This week, we’re praying for those of us raising “Spicy Ones,” a term our guest liturgist Mary Van Geffen coined. Mary is a friend and parenting coach who is well-versed in this area, and she sees raising a Spicy One™ as an invitation to grow our love for ourselves and our children. We hope this prayer encourages you to take a deep breath and experience the graciousness and extravagant love of an ever-patient God.   You can learn more about Mary’s work by checking out <a href="http://www.maryvangeffen.com/" rel="nofollow">her website</a> and giving her a follow on Instagram at <a href="https://www.instagram.com/maryvangeffen" rel="nofollow">@maryvangeffen</a>.   Kayla’s new book, Every Season Sacred, is an invitation to ask big questions, embrace faithful rhythms, and experience God’s mysterious, loving presence together.
