How do I entrust my child to the Lord? | Word First

as parents a question that we always have to be asking ourselves is how do I entrust my child to the Lord and it's difficult because often I think we think we love our child even more than the Lord could love our child and so that's why it's so important for us to remind ourselves continually as parents of the truths of Scripture the two most important things I like to tell parents to do the ways that we can actually daily entrust our children to the Lord is to be in the word this scene to God's promises listening to who he is and then be prayerful parents those two things combine because we need daily reminders of what our hopes should even be for our children and the word reminds us of that what is God's best for our children when we read it in his word we're also reminded that we can trust him we're reminded of his character of who he is that he is all good that he is all-knowing that he is all powerful that he is everywhere when we can't be everywhere that our children are the scriptures are full of such good reminders for us as parents and we need those reminders on a daily basis and then we get the opportunity to talk to the Lord about our children it's an amazing thing that the creator of the universe allows us to come into his presence and take our sometimes very tiny requests to him but to know that he cares about every hair on our child's head so we know that we can take any request from how they're doing in school to perhaps trying to avoid getting lice on their hair whatever it might be we can take those requests to our to our Father and he hears us so the wonderful thing about entrusting our children to the Lord is we get to essentially be the child who goes to our Father with our children entrusting them to the Lord you [Music]
