We want you to CONNECT with God through His Word, Prayer, & Worship.
Today, call out to Him in prayer. Ask Him to "open your eyes" as you read through the scripture.
As you observe the scripture, we encourage you to take notes.
Notice the emotions, reasons, and context. Make sure to note what God wants you to know or do after reading the scripture.
But Daniel resolved that he would not defile himself with the king's food, or with the wine that he drank. Therefore he asked the chief of the eunuchs to allow him not to defile himself.
- Daniel 1:8
Sometimes the most dangerous enemy is the one you don't see coming. Many families today are losing ground in a spiritual battle they don't even realize they're fighting. The casualties are real: children drifting from faith, families growing distant, and values being slowly eroded by cultural influences that seem harmless on the surface. Recognizing this battle isn't about becoming paranoid or fearful. It's about becoming strategic. When you understand that there are forces actively working to shape your child's worldview, you can respond with intentionality rather than react with panic. The average child spends nine hours a day being influenced by screens, algorithms, and content creators who may not share your values. That's not neutral time - it's discipleship time. But here's the encouraging truth: you're not powerless in this battle. God has given you the most influential position in your child's life. Your voice, your example, and your love carry more weight than any influencer or algorithm. The key is being intentional about using that influence. This means creating rhythms in your home that reinforce your values. It means having regular conversations about what your children are seeing and experiencing. It means praying for and with your children consistently. Most importantly, it means recognizing that this is a spiritual battle that requires spiritual weapons: prayer, God's word, and the power of the Holy Spirit working through your family.
Explore & examine the areas of your life that God needs to come under the truth. Take a moment to commit & surrender these areas in prayer.
After, tell and share with others what God is teaching you! Try this:
*Share your encouraging takeaways with others on your social media, or share your story with us. We want to celebrate with you!
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
- 1 John 1:9
