Tip
You've probably heard the saying, "Look before you leap". Well, "Pray before you parent" is the best practical way to get into the habit of looking for and receiving God's help. Right in the middle od what you're doing - especially when you're facing a challenge - turn your attention and your thoughts to God, asking Him for wisdom and help. The very act of prayer will usually settle you and get you thinking on a more productive track. You'll find that this habit, like any other good one, takes a while to develop. Be patient with yourself and keep at it; it's worth the effort. Perhaps you could put up a sign for yourself that says, "Free Parenting Help - Just a Prayer Away"
