Send me a message if you have any questions or comments! There's a different kind of pain that comes from watching your child hurt and realizing you can't simply make it disappear. You would trade places with them if you could. You would take the pain yourself. You would make every phone call, knock on every door, ask every question, and do whatever you could to get them the help they need. Because that's your child. Maybe they're struggling emotionally. Maybe something has changed and you don't know how to reach them. Maybe they're sick, grieving, being bullied, struggling in school, making choices that scare you, or going through something they haven't fully told you about. And as their parent, you're trying to figure out what to do next. This prayer is for you and your child. We're praying for protection, healing, wisdom, peace, strength, the right help, the right people, and guidance for every decision that needs to be made. We're also praying for you—the parent who may be losing sleep, blaming yourself, searching for answers, and carrying fears you haven't told anyone about. Prayer does not mean we stop looking for help. We can pray and make the appointment. We can pray and ask questions. We can pray and find appropriate professional support. We can pray and keep showing up for our children. You may not be able to fix everything your child is facing, but you can love them, advocate for them, listen to them, seek appropriate help, and bring what you cannot control before God. If your child is hurting and you don't know what else to do, come pray with me. DISCLAIMER This podcast is shared for prayer, spiritual encouragement, reflection, and faith-based conversation.
