How Can I Trust God When...Sýnishorn

HOW CAN I TRUST GOD WHEN MY CHILD IS ADDICTED TO DRUGS?

I urge you to resist the temptation to worry about your children, and instead trust God to do in them what you cannot do. Only God can change people!

I know that when I say, “Don’t worry about your children,” it is much easier said than done, but I can promise you that God is faithful, and although we cannot control the choices that others make, our prayers can open the door for God to work in their lives.

We can commit our children to God, and He will guide us in our parenting and work with them throughout their lives to keep them on the right path, or we can worry about them and be fearful they will get hurt or make wrong choices. I have tried both, and I can assure you that committing them to God is by far the best choice.

Pray for your children and say what you pray. When they make choices that appear to be in opposition to God’s will, continue trusting Him. Never put a time limit on trust!

TIP FROM JOYCE:

Worry and fear do not move the hand of God but faith, trust, and commitment do.
