Are you praying for a prodigal child today? Are you praying for a loved one who has rejected God's good design and you're not sure if you're navigating your relationship in a God-honoring way?

People sometimes confuse two “A” words— “acceptance” and “approval.” Dr. Rosaria Butterfield explains the difference between them.

This is our instinctive complaint when we do not get what we want. Most adults hide this feeling, so we notice it most in children.

When it comes to anger, we want to start right and stay right. So, next time you’re angry, run through these three questions: (1) Why am I offended? (2) Who is the focus? and (3) What is the fruit?

“My name is Ryan. I’m an angry man. It’s been a few hours since my last struggle.”  This is the part where you say: “Hi, Ryan.”  The original AA could have been Angry Anonymous, and the reason you should say, “Hi, Ryan,” after I introduce myself is because you all belong at...

"When our children go astray, most of us are quick to look at our failures as parents...But it’s important to remember that while parenting is indeed very influential, it is not determinative."

It can be so very difficult and depressing, especially when we have done our best to raise our children “in the discipline and instruction of the Lord,” (Ephesians 6:1) to see them walk away from the faith. Perhaps they had made a profession of faith and were baptized at a young age and seemed to enjoy attending church, children’s programs, and youth group. It was exciting and joyful to see them follow Christ. Then, at some point…

“I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth” are words written by the Apostle John in his third epistle. While John is addressing […]

'My daughter’s first day of school was also my first day in the psychiatric hospital. After she boarded the bus, I confessed to my husband that I was (once again) trapped in a dangerous spiral of despair. Seventeen years of unprocessed losses had rushed over me the night before. The sting of my dad’s death felt suddenly fresh, though six years had already passed."

When sadness begins to lead us away from the safety and goodness of God’s presence instead of to it, that can be a red flag pointing us to seek deeper help.

“As we care for little people in little places, we tend to feel quite little ourselves.”

The poem was discovered in the collections of F***y Crosby. You may know Fannie Crosby through various songs in many songbooks, but here is a poem she wrote regarding an “Unanswered Prayer.”

“For What His Love Denies”

God does not give me all I ask,
Nor answer as I pray;
But, O, my cup is brimming o’er
With blessings day by day.
How oft the joy I thought withheld
Delights my longing eyes,

And so I thank Him from my heart
For what His love denies.
Sometimes I miss a treasured link
In friendship’s hallowed chain,
And yet His smile is my reward
For every throb of pain.
I look beyond, where purer joys
Delight my longing eyes;

And so I thank Him from my heart
For what His love denies.
How tenderly He leadeth me
When earthly hopes are dim;
And when I falter by the way,
He bids me lean on Him.
He lifts my soul above the clouds
Where friendship never dies;
And so I thank Him from my heart
For what His love denies.

—F***y Crosby, Jan. 6, 1899
