Heavenly Father,

You see everything that happens beneath this roof—and within our hearts. I thank You for the ways You’ve already moved: in the progress made in the kitchen, the growth in the garden, and in repurposing space to meet our needs. Even when things feel heavy, I know You are walking with us.

Lord, You know how many prayers I’ve spoken for Christine—for her to grow, to find her way, to work toward independence. But she has not yet chosen that path. You’ve given her free will, and while I can’t make the decisions for her, I can continue to trust You with my hopes for her. Stir a desire in her heart for something more—for purpose, for stability, and for the dignity of providing for herself. Let her feel the weight of that call.

And for Steven—continue the work You’ve begun. Break through any stagnation or resistance in him. Let healthy boundaries and lasting change take root. If they won’t yet choose truth or responsibility, let the consequences they face become part of the healing—not harm.

Thank You for helping me protect what matters in this house. I ask for continued strength as I stand guard over the peace You are restoring. Fill each room with Your presence, and help me keep going in love, even when things feel unfair.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
