Fears of Parents

 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” ~ Proverbs 3:5-6

The first step, or building block, in overcoming our parental fears is to give them to God.  We need to trust God with our kids.  I know that sounds simple.  I know it seems like the classic Sunday School answer.  

Being a parent is one of the greatest joys in life, and at the same time, it is one of the greatest responsibilities.  I will never forget the day that we brought our first-born home from the hospital.  He was three days old.  We were so excited that God had blessed us with a son.  He was the answer to our prayers.
