We want you to CONNECT with God through His Word, Prayer, & Worship.

Today, call out to Him in prayer. Ask Him to "open your eyes" as you read through the scripture.

As you observe the scripture, we encourage you to take notes.

Notice the emotions, reasons, and context. Make sure to note what God wants you to know or do after reading the scripture.

Train up a child in the way he should go;

even when he is old he will not depart from it.

- Proverbs 22:6

When a fence faces strong winds, the tension reveals where the weak spots are. Similarly, when life brings pressure to our families, it exposes areas that need attention rather than indicating complete failure. This perspective transforms how we view challenges in spiritual formation. Instead of seeing struggles as defeat, we can see them as opportunities for growth and restoration. Every child is unique, with their own 'bend' that requires personalized discipleship approaches. When tension comes - and it will - it helps us identify exactly where we need to focus our efforts. The brokenness we see isn't the end of the story; it's information about where healing and strengthening need to happen. This requires moving away from a one-size-fits-all approach to spiritual formation and embracing the beautiful complexity of each individual heart. Consistency in small things matters more than sporadic big moments. When we understand that tension is a teacher rather than an enemy, we can respond with wisdom instead of panic.

Explore & examine the areas of your life that God needs to come under the truth. Take a moment to commit & surrender these areas in prayer.

After, tell and share with others what God is teaching you! Try this:

*Share your encouraging takeaways with others on your social media, or share your story with us. We want to celebrate with you!

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

- 1 John 1:9
