I spent more time with my mom today, stepping into her world and seeing life through her eyes. It breaks my heart to realize how spiritually immature she is, and I’m not even sure where to begin helping her. I’ve come to a sobering realization: I’ve been running away from her my entire life because I didn’t know how to face these challenges. But this time, I know the Lord has sent me back with a purpose, and I believe I am finally in a place where I can make a difference.

So here I am, giving my all to reach her heart. It’s both frustrating and exhausting, but I know this is the path I must take. I’m done running away.

Oh Lord, I pray for patience and wisdom. Guard my words and purify my heart. Let me see through your eyes and speak your words. As your faithful servant, I surrender myself to you completely. May your kingdom come, and may your will be done through me.
