Psalm 56:10-11 (NIV) says, "In God, whose word I praise, in the Lord, whose word I praise— in God I trust and am not afraid. What can man do to me?"
As parents, we are often faced with situations that challenge our sense of security. Whether it’s concern for our children’s well-being, worries about the future, or the pressures of daily life, fear and anxiety can easily creep into our hearts. But Psalm 56:10-11 offers a powerful reminder of where your trust should be placed—in God and His Word.
The psalmist expresses unwavering confidence in God, praising His Word and finding courage in His promises. This declaration of trust is a powerful antidote to fear. When you anchor your faith in God and His Word, you are reminded that He is sovereign over every circumstance. No matter what challenges you face, God is with you, and His Word is your solid foundation.
As parents, this truth is especially comforting. The world may feel unpredictable, and your ability to control outcomes is limited, but God’s Word is unchanging. His promises are sure, and His love for you and your children is steadfast. When fear begins to take hold, you can turn to God’s Word, praising Him for His faithfulness and choosing to trust in His care.
This trust allows you to release your fears and anxieties into God’s hands. It frees you to parent with confidence, knowing that God is in control and that He will protect and guide your family. By focusing on His Word and His promises, you can find peace in the midst of uncertainty, knowing that nothing can separate you from His love and protection.
