Parenting Through God’s Lens: Seeing Your Child the Way God Doesنموونە

INTRODUCTION:

As parents, it’s easy to see failure as something to fix, avoid, or fear in ourselves and in our children. But God sees beyond the surface. He sees growth in the struggle, purpose in the pain, and strength being formed through every fall.

This 3-day devotional helps you shift your perspective to parent through God’s eyes — with grace, patience, and eternal vision. You’ll discover how to release perfectionism, focus on what really matters, and model a faith that shapes your child for life.

DAY 1 – Seeing Through Grace, Not Perfection

Scripture:

“The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love.” – Psalm 103:8 (NIV)

Devotional:

Parenting through perfection will drain you. Parenting through grace will transform you.

When you look at your child through perfection’s lens, you’ll notice flaws. Through grace, you’ll notice progress.

God’s lens reveals potential where we see problems. It sees growth in the very moments we want to correct. Parenting through God’s eyes means slowing down enough to ask, “What is God forming here?” rather than “What did they do wrong?”

When grace becomes your filter, your words soften, your reactions shift, and your home becomes a space where love leads learning.

Reflection:

How often do I focus on my child’s flaws instead of their growth?

Prayer:

Lord, help me see my child the way You see them — with compassion, patience, and hope. Let my responses reflect Your grace, not my frustration. Amen.

Call to Action:

If you’re ready to parent with grace instead of pressure, let this journey continue beyond today. My book, Help Your Child Deal With Failure – before it happens, expands on these truths, helping you see your child through God’s eyes and respond with patience, wisdom, and love.
