These words…. couldn’t have come at a better time. I’m struggling to find grace for my 40 year old daughter who continues to make poor decisions and refuses to see her part in the messes she continues to create. I give it to God and then I take it back. I must continue to remember that He loved her long before I ever did, and continue to lift her in prayer instead of holding onto this anger and frustration.

Thank you, Diana!
I think Deb has done such a good job with this info.
And, it’s an interesting “dance” that we dance with our adult kids, isn’t it!
Sure do appreciate you and your encouragement!
Blessings,

This is really good stuff. I wish I had it a pocket size booklet so I can carry it in my purse and while waiting in line, I could glance at it time to time. I need to remember to send a text to my children to say I am so very proud of them. I am glad to read To say No when they want us to doggie sit LOL – that’s so hard to say to our furry grand-dogs. I pray to remember give them grace and I will pray for them everyday! Melanie and Deb are truly a blessing to share God’s word. May you and your family be blessed. Be safe too.

You have no idea how much I needed to hear those words and reminders..as the mother of 5. My oldest is almost 20 and the rest of his siblings are under 5. I was only 16 when I had my oldest and to say we grew up together might be an understatement. I have battled so much guilt and just recently I became a grandma. As a young mom and now….more of an older one. There is one constant…God!!! His word, His presence and His direction. Life on this earth is precious! It is limited and we all do the best we can. Thank you for the reminders. I have given my all and will forever pray for my children always. I needed the reminder to praise Him where he is at. It is so hard not to look at my son as a little boy and think of myself in my 20’s ( yeah right I know, I know). But he has grown into a man that knows more than I have given him credit for. He is an amazing father despite being a young father, and he loves Jesus. What more could I ask for? I have to trust God. Bottom line… and I am forever thankful for his Grace, and the reminder to show grace to my son and others. Thank you! I have been blessed!!!

Thank you both for sharing such wonderful wisdom. I have so much to learn but with this kind of advice, I’ll be ready by the time my kids are adults.
Blessings, my friends.

In reply to Josan Louw.

Hey Josan,

Thank you for stopping by to share today. I will pray with you for your young adult children.

One of my favorite ways to pray for my kids is this, “Lord, would you draw the hearts of my children back to you. Would you woo them and win them again? Would you put some people in love with Jesus in their lives and stir them to want more of Jesus themselves? I ask You to intervene as only You can. I let go of my kids and give them over to You. You love them even more than I do. Thank You that You can do this. I entrust You today with these kids that I love.”

We love. We pray. We care. And, we give them over to God for His care.

Each time God brings you to mind, I will lift you and your kids to Him. He can do this!

Keep me posted~
Melanie

Hi! My name is Josan Louw. I am very concerned about my daughter (27) and fiancé (33). They don’t want anything to do with God or Christianity. Not attending church. Not worrying about being saved. This is a big concern for me. They are staying together and both doing very well in their careers. But there is just no relationship with God. We are staying 80 kilometers from each other and I visit them once a month for a weekend. When I want to pray for food or just talk about faith, they’re getting irritated and uncomfortable. They are good people. Doen’t go out often. Love each other. And have very nice friends. Renovating the house they bought. It is just that they don’t think they need God in their lives!
