Encouragement for parents - By Caroline

Blog Encouragement

It feels so hard when everything around us has changed – the way we work, play, socialise, and exercise are all unrecognisable from even 7 days ago. I’m finding it very difficult to adjust and having to redesign everything I do. I really miss all the social contacts! Zoom is great but I really crave good old fashioned 3 d connection. But I have to adapt and so do we all. This new way of life is here to stay for the foreseeable future. So here are some things that I am trying to do:-

· I am being intentional about thanking God for all He has given me and all He has done for me. I don’t ‘feel’ like doing it but I know I must lift my eyes up from myself and focus on Him again.

· I am choosing to worship Him with my whole heart even if at first it’s only with my ears as I listen to the worship music but then as I allow His Spirit to soak my spirit He restores my soul.

· I am lifting others to Him in prayer. I make a new list every day and pray for the Lord to bless each one and keep each one safe.

· I read a favourite Bible verse and choose to believe the truth spoken.

Romans 8: 38-39 ‘For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.’

God bless you
