A Prayer to Show Kindness When It’s Hard
God of mercy, teach me to show kindness not just when it’s convenient, but when it’s costly. Let compassion override pride, and tenderness silence frustration.

Builder of homes, establish us by Psalm 127:1–2.
Unless the Lord builds the house,
the builders labor in vain.
Unless the Lord watches over the city,
the guards stand watch in vain.
2 In vain you rise early
Father, I’m tired.
Pour Your strength into me and remind me I’m not parenting alone.
You see me, and You’re with me.
Amen.
Inhale: Abba, I belong. Deep inhale for 4 seconds.
Exhale: I am held. Deep exhale for 5 seconds.
Thank God for providing reassurance
AMEN.
Do a cycle of 5-10 of these anytime you need. When those thoughts of not belonging start circling in your mind.
