Proverbs 3:12;
Hebrews 12:6
THOUGHT OF THE
DAY: “For the LORD corrects those he loves, just as a father corrects a child
in whom he delights.” Proverbs 3:12 (NLT)
In
child psychology, the authoritative parenting style is known as the most
beneficial method to raising healthy, confident children. An authoritative
parent exhibits the perfect balance of compassion and control. They view discipline
as simply another opportunity to help their children grow. Clear communication
is crucial. The parents attentively listen to their children and sympathize
with them, yet affirmatively state the rules and consequences. They hold high expectations
for their children, yet constantly support and encourage them in their journey
toward success. They are always available to help their children when needed,
but acknowledge that sometimes children must struggle through a difficult
situation on their own in order grow. Above all, authoritative parents are more
concerned about their child’s overall wellbeing in the future than the
momentary disappointments of the present.
PRAYER:
Father, You are the ultimate authoritative parent. Your love is perfect,
unconditional, and endless. You never allow pain without a divine purpose
behind it. Sometimes, I won’t understand why You seem distant and unresponsive
to my prayers. Yet, my future is laid open before you. In every way, You are
working for my supreme good and Your eternal glory (Romans 8:28). Amen.
