How do we infuse hope into a culture full of angst? There are many shows and miniseries out today that entice young people either with darker themes or by portraying life as meaningless. In light of the many messages children are bombarded with, kids need reasons why God is relevant to them. They need to find meaning and identity in things that genuinely fulfill. They need hope.
Have we given our kids reasons why they can live life fearlessly? Have we fostered conversations about hard topics and convinced them that no issue is off limits and that we can handle even the most intimate details of their lives with genuine love and concern? We must be proactive in fostering connections with our children.
Let your child know they are not alone. Be a redemptive guide speaking into the corruption they will be forced to weed through. Let them know there is one who fights on their behalf.
As you foster an atmosphere of open conversation with your child, be sure to undergird your discussions with encouraging truths from Scripture. Here are some ideas to get you started:
- You are not alone (Ps 23:4)
- You have value (Mt 10:31; 1Pt 2:9)
- He sees your tears (Rv 21:4)
- There is help (Ps 46:1; Heb 4:15-16)
- Your life has purpose (Jr 29:11)
Reminding your child of unchanging promises from God’s Word will give your child a solid framework for processing worries and fears, both now and into adulthood. Undergird all your reassurances with reminders of who God is, your child’s identity in Christ, and the promises of the Lord’s care and presence no matter the circumstances. This comfort is what your children need most—not a promise that nothing scary or difficult will ever happen to them, but that the Lord of all creation is with them, for them, and has a loving plan for their life.
