Passages such as Joshua 1:9 and Philippians 4:13 (“I can do all things through him who gives me strength”) remind them that resilience, humility, and perseverance come from a relationship with God. In this way, you help them see their sporting challenges through the lens of faith. This perspective is consistent with the idea that, despite the “consequences of the Fall” discussed in this https://edubirdie.com/docs/grand-canyon-university/cwv-101-christian-world-view/69929-consequences-of-the-fall-contemporary-response section, Christian faith is a source of hope and strength, encouraging young people to live purposeful and honest lives.

Awesome, Kim!
Keep sharing and praying and giving them hope.
My kids are grown, and I still pray, text, email, and share hope with them!
It will not return void!
Blessings to you,
Melanie

My son has been in love with football since he was five. He is now a senior! On game days, he doesn’t come home after school and I won’t see him until after the game. But he has his phone on those long away game bus rides or for the home game pregame wait in the locker room. Since his freshmen year I’ve been sending him inspirational quotes, bible verses and sometimes just encouraging words from mom. I’m not sure he appreciates it now because well he is a teenage boy but I do it anyway. Hopefully one day he will look back and remember some of these as he faces challenges in his adult life. One day these”cringy” texts from mom will become priceless. I just know it!! I love that moms are doing this when they kids are younger. Don’t ever stop! If my son is blessed to continue chasing his dream in college, he will still get pregame texts from his mom!!

Hey Ana,

Thanks for stopping by to leave a good word today! And, when you little one gets big enough to play sports – you will want to take Holly’s advice about sharing verses with him!

Sounds like you are a great mom!

Enjoy those little people while they are small~
