“Or if he asks for a fish, he will not give him a snake, will he?”
— Matthew 7:10 NASB1995
🧺 Teaching Trust
As mothers guiding older children, we can use this verse to teach discernment and trust. God’s gifts may not come wrapped in ease—but they are never designed to harm. Even when life delivers hardship, God’s hand remains steady.
Children often wrestle with unanswered prayers. Help them trace God’s faithfulness through past experiences. Show them that no “snake” has ever slipped through His care.
🗣 Family Conversation:
- Have your children ever felt disappointed by God’s answer?
- How can you remind them of His goodness, even in those moments?
👣 Kingdom Practice:
Share stories as a family of when God gave something different than asked—but it turned out better.
🙏 Prayer:
Father, anchor our home in Your goodness. When our children doubt, let our stories and Scripture guide them back to trust. Amen.

I’m a follower of Christ, learning daily to walk the narrow path laid out in His Word. Through Rooted & Raised: Anchoring Women & Children in Christ, I simply seek to point others back to Scripture, tested by the Holy Spirit, lived out in faith, and anchored in truth.
● This space isn’t about lofty theology or grand platforms. It’s about humble obedience, Kingdom living, and helping others, especially women and families, rediscover the kind of faith that bears fruit, costs something, and reflects the love of Christ. My heart is to encourage others as I learn, grow, and surrender alongside them.
