Deliver Us from Meltdowns - by Janel Breitenstein (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Funny, heartfelt, and encouraging prayers for every Christian parent dealing with the chaos of family life.

Set aside perfection and learn to live with grace, forgiveness, and imperfection on your parenting journey. This humorous and heartfelt book of honest parental prayers is a comforting reminder that you are not alone. Parents everywhere are striving to do their best. They call out with the same pleas: for their kids to eat something other than chicken nuggets, to put down the phone for just a minute, and to come home safely. And rest assured, God hears us.

In the whirlwind of family life, Deliver Us from Meltdowns offers a sanctuary of laughter and encouragement. When you're feeling overwhelmed, the power of prayer and a touch of humor can lift your spirits and help you regain perspective. Inside, you'll find prayers that speak to the experiences of every parent, including:

• Lead Us Not into Temper Tantrums
• Get Behind Me, Helicopter Parent
• Grant Me Infinite Patience for Endless Whys
• Help Us Like Each Other Before We Get to Church.

Grow into the perfectly imperfect parent that God expects you to be. This thoughtful and candid book of prayers meets parents where they are and gives them better places to go--back to God's promises and into a supportive community of parents.
