Motherhood Inspiration: Praying Your Way through Healthy Parenting: A 21-Day Devotional for Mothers

By Whitnie Steele

The journey of motherhood is different from one household to another. Yet what remains the same is that at some point, throughout this journey, all moms reach a point of uncertainty, a season where they can no longer control the outcome of their youth’s decisions. Motherhood Inspiration: Praying Your Way through Healthy Parenting is birthed from the heart of a praying mother who found herself in this same scenario. The daily devotions in this book include a ray of prayers such as gratitude of motherhood, identity and forgiveness issues, health, and financial blessings, down to the breaking of generational curses. Some of these prayers deal with you, moms, because truth be told, we cannot expect to see changed behavior or results in our children’s lives until we first take accountability and transform our own lives. The scriptures provided correspond to the prayer of the day. The activities supplied correspond to that of which we are devoting our hearts and minds to. As the author of this book, it is my deepest wish that these devotions bring you solace through your darkest situations, hope in your seasons of despair, and empowerment to be the change your children need. From one mother to another, I encourage you to pray your way through healthy parenting.

Preface

Motherhood Inspiration: Praying Your Way through Healthy Parenting was developed out of the heart and experiences of my own journey through motherhood. As my children reached their preteen years, the dynamics of our household and our relationships changed drastically. It was like rooming with loved ones you could no longer recognize. And for them, I'm pretty sure it was like living with an adult they did not want to recognize. I found myself in a whirlwind of emotions and tears, scrambling to keep pieces of our family puzzle together, not then realizing that the puzzle was meant to be dismantled and those broken pieces used by the hands of my children to create their own puzzle board tailored to their own lives. I struggled, mentally and emotionally, longer than I should have. I felt like I was the only mother whose offspring were straying. I felt alone on a dark journey of raising kids. I felt like no matter how much I dedicated and gave, no matter how much I sacrificed, things weren't looking better. The light was still dim. As I began to devote these overwhelming emotions and thoughts to God, He revealed to me there were areas where I was parenting from a place of sickness. My emotions, my thoughts, and my actions weren't all healthy. It was revealed to me that without healing my own scars and traumas, I would not be able to effectively raise up and then guide my children
