Acceptance

“The Father gives me the people who are mine. Every one of them will come to me, and I will always accept them.”

JOHN 6:37 NCV

The LORD does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.

1 SAMUEL 16:7 NKJV

If God is for us, who can be against us?

ROMANS 8:31 ESV

Before he made the world, God chose us to be his very own through what Christ would do for us; he decided then to make us holy in his eyes, without a single fault—we who stand before him covered with his love.

EPHESIANS 1:4 TLB

Father, thank you for accepting me just as I am. You are perfect, and somehow you have decided that I am worthy of love. You welcome me into your arms without a care in the world for how much I squiggle and squirm. Help me to rest in you, and to be just as accepting and patient with others—especially with the children you have placed in my care.

How does God’s acceptance of you help you to be more accepting of others?

Anger

Don’t get angry.

Don’t be upset; it only leads to trouble. Evil people will be sent away, but those who trust the LORD will inherit the land.

PSALM 37:8-9 NCV

Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires.

JAMES 1:19-20 NIV

“Don’t sin by letting anger control you.” Don’t let the sun go down while you are still angry.

EPHESIANS 4:26 NLT

God, your Word tells me you are slow to anger. I cannot always say the same of myself. I confess there are plenty of days where I move the wrong way—a harsh word, a hasty action, and sometimes I hold onto my anger for the rest of the day. I don’t want to be like this, especially toward my children. When I feel anger rising, let your love and forgiveness rise quicker.

What does it mean to be quick to listen and slow to speak?

Anxiety

You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.

ISAIAH 26:3 NIV

“Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me.”

JOHN 14:1 NLT

Give all your worries to him, because he cares about you.

1 PETER 5:7 NCV

I call out to the LORD when I’m in trouble, and he answers me.

PSALM 120:1 NIRV

God, I get anxious about the future. I try to imagine it, and it seems so vague and uncertain; all blurry around the edges. Some days I can hardly even see what a future would look like. Forgive my anxiety God. I don’t want to dishonor you. I trust you with my life, and give you my worries and cares. I know that it does no good for me to try to control them myself.

What steps can you take to be less anxious and more trusting?

Beauty

You are altogether beautiful, my darling, beautiful in every way.

SONGOF SONGS 4:7 NLT

No, your beauty should come from within you—the beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit that will never be destroyed and is very precious to God.

1 PETER 3:4 NCV

She puts on strength and honor as if they were her clothes. She can laugh at the days that are coming.

PROVERBS 31:25 NIRV

I praise you because you made me in an amazing and wonderful way. What you have done is wonderful. I know this very well.

PSALM 139:14 NCV

God, you make such beautiful things! Thank you for such a lovely world. I know that to those who love me, I add to the world’s beauty. This humbles me. In the mirror, I see things I would like to change. Behind me, hands resting proudly on my shoulders, your eyes see your beautiful, beloved daughter. To you, I am more beautiful than the sunset. I am as lovely as a rose.

How does it make you feel to think God sees you as beautiful?

Blessings

Surely, LORD, you bless those who do what is right. Like a shield, your loving care keeps them safe.

PSALM 5:12 NIRV

Surely you have granted him unending blessings and made him glad with the joy of your presence.

PSALM 21:6 NIV

“Even more blessed are all who hear the word of God and put it into practice.”

LUKE 11:28 NLT

Give praise to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. He has blessed us with every spiritual blessing. Those blessings come from the heavenly world. They belong to us because we belong to Christ. God chose us to belong to Christ before the world was created. He chose us to be holy and without blame in his eyes. He loved us.

EPHESIANS 1:3-4 NIRV

God, how much fun you must have, dreaming up blessings to rain down on your children. Your affection for me is not subject to my behavior toward you. You continue to fix your thoughts on me even when I selfishly ignore your blessings. Help me to look past the busyness of motherhood and see all that you have blessed me with today—including my beautiful children.

Which of God’s blessings come to your mind today?

Boldness

He proclaimed the kingdom of God and taught about the Lord Jesus Christ—with all boldness and without hindrance!

ACTS 28:31 NIV

Sinners run away even when no one is chasing them. But those who do what is right are as bold as lions.

PROVERBS 28:1 NIRV

On the day I called you, you answered me. You made me strong and brave.

PSALM 138:3 NCV

So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.

HEBREWS 4:16 NLT

Creator God, what is beyond your capability? What task are you unqualified for? When I feel overwhelmed and incapable, help me remember I don’t need to panic. We are in this together, and your awesomeness more than makes up for my shortcomings. When I lack confidence, let me find it in you. Infuse me with your ability to be bold. If this busy work of motherhood I do is for you, I cannot fail.

Why is it sometimes hard to be bold?

Caring

Do not be interested only in your own life, but be interested in the lives of others.

PHILIPPIANS 2:4 NCV

If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person? Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.

1 JOHN 3:17-18 NIV
