My Co-Parent Is Invisible

I’m sure you read “My Co-Parent Is Invisible” and thought what kind of palm tree throwing shade is she on?! 😂 No shade here. You see my Co-Parent is invisible I can’t see Him but I can count on Him to come through in all things. He’s a matchless provider, a gentle confidant, an undefeated protector, and the biggest supporter I could ever have. He’s also known as Jehovah Jireh, the God that provides (Genesis 22:14); Jehovah Nissi, the Lord is my Banner-Victory in Warfare (Exodus 17:15); or Abba Father (Mark 14:36) to just name a few characteristics of the One True God. It’s in this perspective of seeing God as not just my Father but as my partner in raising my children that I no longer feel the heaviness of “single-parenting.” He’s already said He is a “father to the fatherless.” Psalm 68:5 So while my children’s fathers may be absent God is their father and therefore my partner in raising them. While naturally I am a “single mother,” in the Spirit I have matchless backup and partnership. I consult God on everything as it relates to my children and their well-being; He has never failed us in guidance or providing. So I challenge you as you prepare to complete your “Back To School” shopping to shift your perspective and see God as your partner. Instead of saying “I have to buy all this stuff alone” and focusing on what the other parent is not doing simply say “God I thank You that You have provided for me that I am able to get everything my child needs. From their school clothes to their 5,789 crayons on their supply list.” John 14:14 says you can ask anything in His name and He will do it. So girl you better ask Him for help and ask confidently knowing the answer is already yes. It’s already yes, because He said there’s no good thing He will withhold from you. Psalm 84:11 He also said, “Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us” in Ephesians 3:20. So just ask and watch Him work. Don’t allow the enemy to trick you into bitterness, anger, and hatred by focusing on what the other parent is not doing. Instead focus on how God has not failed you, it’s impossible for Him to do that, and every need for you and your child(ren) He will meet. He can’t meet your need if you out here mad or if you out here relying on your own accord. Shift your perspective and watch The God of all things, The God of the universe, the Alpha and Omega show up for you. God has you and your child(ren) so ball out because “I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging for bread.” Psalm 37:25 Girl I can’t see Him but He showing up in ways I couldn’t even imagine-every need MET!
