Bible Verses for Parents
Sometimes being a parent of a very active toddler is exhausting. Okay, most of the time. I know that I am not the only one who loses their patience with their kid. To help myself and any other parents out there who just get too tired and lose their patience with their kids, I have compiled a list of ten Bible verses to use as a mantra when all you want to do is hide in a closet, the only place where it is quiet.

Philippians 4:6 (NIV)
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
Romans 5:3 (NLT)
We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance.
Proverbs 15:18 (MSG)
Hot tempers start fights; a calm, cool spirit keeps the peace.
