Your Question:
how can i still be a good parent even if i'm struggling?
Answer:
As a pastor and a father, I've learned that being a good parent is not about being perfect, but about being willing to submit to God's guidance and wisdom. When I'm struggling with parenting, I remind myself to pray as the Holy Spirit leads me, listening to His prompting in my heart for my child. I ask God to help me be the parent and intercessor He wants me to be, and I trust that He will provide the wisdom and strength I need. It's easy to get caught up in feeling like I'm not good enough as a parent, but I've come to realize that this is a common struggle for many parents. The Bible reminds us that parenting is not an exact science, and that God holds all the wisdom we need in His hands. I've learned to entrust my child to the Father every single day, recognizing that He is leading and bringing wisdom and insight to me as I ask for it. By doing so, I'm able to trust that God is working in my child's life, even when I don't have all the answers. As a father of a 17-year-old son and a 14-year-old daughter, I'm constantly reminded that parenting is a journey, not a destination. It's okay to make mistakes and learn from them, and it's essential to remember that my children need to feel loved and accepted, even when they make mistakes. By being a proactive parent and seeking God's guidance, I'm able to navigate the challenges of parenting and trust that God is working in my children's lives.
