A Prayer for Parents Who Are Healing from Trauma

Kayla Craig

Jun 05, 2023

Could there be another way to be strong, something different from bearing every burden on our own? This week, writer, speaker, and licensed professional counselor Aundi Kolber has offered a prayer for those of us who are parenting while healing from our own trauma. We pray these words meet you and feel like a balm in the tenderest places of your heart.

You can order Aundi’s book, Strong Like Water, here. Follow her and her work through her website and on Instagram at @aundikolber.

Kayla has a new book coming this September! Every Season Sacred is an invitation to ask big questions, embrace faithful rhythms, and experience God’s mysterious, loving presence together. You don’t have to have all the answers—and if we’re honest, many answers aren’t ours to have. This is the beauty of faith. To learn more and preorder your copy, visit kaylacraig.com/newbook.

You can check out Liturgies for Parents on Instagram for more prayers and encouragement and pick up your own copy of To Light Their Way wherever books are sold. For glimpses of Kayla’s experiences with parenting and faith, find her on Instagram at @kayla_craig.
