Yes, I agree, DO pray for your gals. BUT I also believe that God has placed them in your care and it is your responsibility to protect them. 13 is such a tender, impressionable age and they need your guidance more than ever. I say, Go Cowboys!

As a father with two 13 yro daughters, I struggle with my natural desire to whup any boy that comes around as apposed to my prayer that they are in God’s hands!

Thanks for the perspective! And to hear your baby crying out to Him, oh man! Heartbreaking and exhilarating at the same time! That my babies would call on Him, love Him and serve Him is the #1 cry of my heart as a parent.

I had to realize as a parent that God is the one who works in their hearts, I can only lead them there. It took a lot of pressure off of me as a parent!

Go team! I wish we could take a bunch of parents and…well, I don’t know, sometimes I just want to shake them into understanding. Good thing I’m not God. Anyway, keep up the good work. I’m on your side!

Other thoughts I’m mulling over regarding statements you made about anxiety and God: I agree we should rest in the Lord, He gives us peace. But, I see people all the time who don’t get the connection of how God can/will restore peace of mind to them. Many people need help in learning and remembering about God. They don’t seem to know “what” to do to acquire God’s peace. I suppose, that’s where we, as the body of Christ come in. Yes?

She will not have to go searching when she is older. She will know exactly where to run to fill that hole in her heart that can only be filled by Him. Such a touching story!
