Resentment behind us. Pressure in front of us. That's the loop so many moms live in — judging our parents for what they didn't do, then fearing our kids will judge us the same way.

A Prayer for Generational Freedom & Forgiveness by Elizabeth Good

But generational freedom is possible. Listen to this week's episode on breaking the pattern. In today's episode of Everyday Prayers, Elizabeth Good helps us pray for a judgement free heart and mind.

Reference: Ephesians 4.32

Prayer: Today, I bring my parents to you. I release my judgment. I release my need to replay the past. I release the inner courtroom where I keep trying to get a verdict. Jesus, help me forgive the way you forgave me. Pull out every bitter root in my heart. so it will not grow and spread into my home. Heal me where I am still tender. Teach me to parent from peace and not from fear. And please protect my children from carrying what was never meant to be theirs. Thank you that you are rewriting our family story with grace. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
