Ron: Prayer reveals your heart to those around you.
Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended®, here’s Ron Deal.
Ron: I was speaking about dealing with difficult co-parents on Facebook Live—you can follow us at FamilyLIfe Blended—when a comment from a stepmom really impressed me. She said, “When my stepdaughter first moved in with us, we made sure that we prayed for her mom at bedtime. It made a huge difference in my stepdaughter’s attitude toward me.” Yeah, of course it did. Why? Because you reveal your heart to those around you when you pray.
In this case, the stepmom’s good will toward the biological mom showed the daughter that she respected the mom and their mother-daughter relationship. To a child, a gracious heart is a safe place. For FamilyLife Blended I’m Ron Deal.
