Parenting is hard—and holy. Let your prayers reflect both.
In Deliver Us from Meltdowns, author and mom of four Janel Breitenstein offers a refreshingly honest and spiritually rich collection of prayers for parents who are in the thick of it. From toddler tantrums to teenage eye rolls, from sleep deprivation to school decisions, this book meets you in your real-life parenting moments—with wit, wisdom, and deeply relatable grace.
 
These prayers aren’t polished. They’re real. Raw, conversational, and grounded in biblical truth, each prayer reflects the actual highs, lows, and in-betweens of parenthood. Whether you’re pleading for patience, asking for help with discipline, or praying over your child's identity, Deliver Us from Meltdowns gives you words when yours fall short—and reminds you that God welcomes all of it.
 
Perfect as a bedside book, devotional companion, or thoughtful gift, this is spiritual support for parents who want to raise their children with faith without pretending to have it all together.
