—Proverbs 31:1-9
by: Angie Osborn.
There are so many things we want to protect our children from. We try to show them right from wrong and bring them up with Christian values. Even after doing all that, there is still the nagging feeling of “what ifs”. What if my child makes bad choices. has trouble with the law, tries drugs, rebels, or rejects the Lord? The trouble is that worrying about the “what ifs” will not make them go away! At each of our children’s dedications, Steve and I vowed to pray for our children and raise them in the way of the Lord. We alone do not have the power to control the actions of our children. BUT we can pray for them and guide them and lay them in the hands of the Lord.
