Releasing our children into God’s hands
The Bible teaches us that our children are a gift from God. The journey of parenting can sometimes cause us, as parents, to become fearful as we think about releasing them into a next season e.g. starting school or leaving home to attend university. When this happens we need to be active in prayer as…. prayer is our best response to fear – as we release them into God’s hands, which is the safest place of all. So, my encouragement and reminder to us all (as parents) this week is: we don’t parent alone. Let’s ensure that our children see that we choose to lean on God and learn from God.
