When you think your prayers aren’t being answered, you tend to get discouraged and cry out, “God, why aren’t you helping me?”
Yet God has promised to answer your prayers: “Ask and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you” (Matthew 7:7). However, sometimes you don’t see the answer for a while, or God may say no because He has a different—and better—plan.
So you are exhorted to ask. But your request must be…
Lord, I confess that I’m not good at waiting for
Your answers to my prayers. But as I wait,
I believe You will build my faith, purify my heart,
and show me Your will. Thank You!

Memorial Day heralds the beginning of summer. To students, it begins the countdown to summer vacation. Often summer schedules are hectic with family members going in every direction for sports, camps, social activities, or college preparation. Don’t let your summer get away from you!
The best way you can help lead your family is to make sure you are growing spiritually. This growth will give you the wisdom and strength you need for leading your children in the faith. You can make this happen by regular time reading the Bible (2 Timothy 3:17), finding role models to emulate (Proverbs 27:17), avoiding influences and situations where you will be tempted (1 Corinthians 15:33, 2 Timothy 2.22), and choosing to abide in Christ in order to bear fruit (John 15:1-8).
No matter what you do with each day or in your life, doing anything God’s way is a matter of the heart. Whether it’s deciding how to spend your money or your time, how you treat people, how you dress, or how you accomplish your work, your choices reveal the treasure of your heart.
