Isaiah 40:11

Like a good shepherd, he takes care of his people.
    He gathers them like lambs in his arms.
    He holds them close, while their mothers walk beside him.

No matter how old our children are, we can fear leaving them unattended unintentionally. 
When we face our own insufficiencies, we turn more quickly to the one we most desperately need—the Lord who cares for his people. He is there to strengthen us, yes, as well as be a real help to our children… especially when we can’t.

We should grow with your children in your reliance on the Lord. Pray aloud and often about every little thing. Talk together—meditate—on Scripture and what they mean.

Often, the help God sends comes from other people.

Community is a net the Lord expects us to help build and fall into when needed. It requires vulnerability and effort. It is important to take the time to make friends again and again. Join a church; be open about the support you need for you and your children—and then graciously accept the help offered. 

“Just as my Father knows me and I know the Father. So I sacrifice my life for the sheep.”
‭‭John‬ ‭10‬:‭15‬ ‭

And praise God when you see him working in your child’s life. He will give them wisdom, strength, comfort, and encouragement through other people and in ways you could never have imagined.

Philippians 1:6 I am convinced and confident of this very thing, that God who has begun a good work in my children will continue to perfect and complete it until the day of Christ Jesus’ return.
