A spiritual comment and prayer to begin the day with Tobi Olujinmi, Founder of WTALK Network, the Entertainment & Faith Network for Women

Good morning.

My 4-year-old has learnt the rather annoying game of 鈥渃opycat鈥�. The game involves following me around, and copying everything I say.

Now, I鈥檓 sure like many parents across the UK, during the period of lockdown, I struggled to find activities which kept him busy and stimulated. However, his new game of copycat, has not only widened his vocabulary, but has caused me to reflect on the actions he鈥檚 copying. There鈥檚 an old adage which says; children do not do what you say, they do what you do. So it鈥檚 making me think more about whether I鈥檓 setting an example I鈥檇 like him to follow?

Through the gospels, Jesus invites us to follow him too. The Apostle Paul in the book of Romans speaks about those who are led by the Spirit of God as being the Sons and Daughters of God. There鈥檚 something about being called children of God, and the idea of following God the Father , which offers peace and builds resilience. It provides a gentle reminder that there is one who goes before us who will protect us.

As we continue to navigate uncertain times, may we continue to experience that peace throughout homes and within our families.

Precious Father, we ask you to bless all of the little children who have had schedules and routines thrown off this year. We pray that you will provide their guardians with wisdom and resource. We ask that during times of fear, you remind us of your invitation to be led by you through all of the intricacies of life.

In Jesus Name.

Amen
