Parenting brings both joy and heartache. Whether you’re raising young children or watching adult children make life-altering decisions, your heart is always involved. The desire to guide, protect, and see your children flourish can weigh heavily—especially when they struggle, resist, or walk away from the values you’ve tried to teach.

But Jehovah God understands. He created the family structure and knows the deep emotional bond between parents and children. And through His Word, He offers comfort and hope—no matter where your children are on their journey.

Three comforting truths for parents:

• God desires children to learn from their parents.
  📖 “To give to the inexperienced ones shrewdness… Listen, my son, to the discipline of your father, and do not forsake the instruction of your mother.” — Proverbs 1:4, 8
  God designed families to pass on wisdom. Your effort to teach—even when it feels unnoticed—matters deeply.
• He knows how much you want your children to thrive.
  📖 “My son, if your heart becomes wise, then my own heart will rejoice.” — Proverbs 23:15
  Jehovah God understands your longing to see your children grow into respectful, wise adults. Their reputation can reflect on yours—but your sincerity and love stand on their own.
• Even when children stray, hope remains.
  📖 “While he was still far away, his father caught sight of him and was moved with pity.” — Luke 15:20
  Just as the father in Jesus’ illustration welcomed back his lost son, Jehovah encourages us never to give up hope. A sincere heart can always return.

No matter where your children are in life—or what choices they’ve made—your love for them still matters. Jehovah God sees the burden you carry as a parent and honors your efforts, your prayers, and your hope. His comfort is not just for today—it’s for the long journey of parenthood. You are not alone in caring, guiding, or waiting. Jehovah walks with you, every step of the way.
