Parenting is holy work—but it’s also hard work. The endless tasks, emotional exhaustion, guilt, and constant demands can leave you feeling like you’re drowning in the daily grind. This prayer is for every mom or dad who feels like they’re failing, tired, or just barely holding it together. 📖 “Let us not grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” — Galatians 6:9 In today’s prayer, we ask God to renew strength, restore joy, and remind every parent that He sees them. He’s not waiting for perfection—He’s walking with you in the mess, offering grace for each moment. You are not alone in the trenches.
