What Do I Do With Worry? A Devotional for Parentsનમૂનો

DAY 7: A Life of Freedom

At the end of the day, helping our kids manage worry is the lifelong process of teaching them to trust God. Please read that again. It’s a lifelong process. None of us fully 100% trust God with every aspect of our lives. That’s the process of sanctification. 

But if we can help our kids learn from an early age that worries don’t have to control their thoughts, we set them up with tools to manage the suffering and trouble that Jesus says they’ll experience for the rest of their time on earth. We’re not eliminating problems from their lives; we’re giving them the tools to handle those problems. 

That process begins by realizing—not just in our heads, but also in our hearts—that God can handle anything, absolutely anything we’re going through. Nothing can separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. So even when we worry, we can choose to be brave and live free, knowing He is with us.
