When we don’t think we have what it takes to overcome, we can draw strength from the One who has a plan and purpose for our lives. (Jeremiah 29:11).

I used to get hung up on the "right way" pray. But then I learned God is more concerned having a relationship with us than how many minutes we pray or the exact words we use. What prayer looks like for me changes over time and looks different in each season.
We are talking about prayer on the podcast this week so I thought this post from the archives was worth sharing. Here's just one example one way I pray.

Form last week's blog post on friendship "Equipped with the principles of friendship my daughter can be herself around her peers. She is free to focus on being the kind of friend she wants to be, rather worry about who may or may not like her.
She know it’s okay to have more than one friend group. Your friends who share your love of reading may be in your book club, but that doesn't mean you have to sit at their lunch table. And the girls you play soccer with, the ones who always have your back on the field, you may never go to their house for a play date. And that's ok!"

I taught my daughter some principles of friendship that gave her the confidence to set boundaries and ultimately find her people. When a friend disses you, many times, it has little to do with you. Most middle school kids are insecure. Many times they don't understand their value and worth, so they look to others to give it to them. It’s no surprise when they gravitate towards the person in their squad that affirms them and their choices, be it good or bad.

Just one of the things I taught my middle schooler was... All friends are not created equal. One friend doesn't need to be your everything, Just like a potluck dinner. If everybody brought the same dish to the party, the meal would be lousy. Different friends, with their various backgrounds and interests, meet different relational needs. They also bring variety to your life. If you expect everybody to look, dress, and act the same, life will be boring.
