Thank you for this reminder that our children’s deepest needs can only be truly met by God. It’s amazing how God’s peace can calm hearts when we point our kids and ourselves toward Him. I also tell them to look in the past to see how God has helped them overcome fears and bad days, and that reminds them that He is faithful.
My favorite verse to share especially with my son who is the worrier in our home is:
"Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things." - Philippians 4:8
This is what I often have to remind myself when I start running ahead of God with all my worries about the future. Don’t borrow trouble from tomorrow!
“Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”
Matthew 6:34
I love this one! And it’s the honest truth isn’t it? One day at a time 🤍

Yes! I need to remember to do that more… remind them to look at the past to remember His faithfulness!
We use that verse a lot too! It’s harder to worry when your mind is on those things in verse 8.
Yes exactly. That's why we use those two and he's improved a lot. Praise God!
