Jesus always leads us to littleness. It is the place where misery and mercy meet. It is the place where we encounter God.
Fr. Henri Nouwen

When I started my journey as a parent, I assumed that if I brought my children up in the Lord, they would follow Jesus as I did. Every parent wants their child to truly love the Lord Jesus and want them to walk with Him as early in life as possible. It's not always the case. I have seen many prayerful parents facing trials because of rebellious children. If you are one of them, I want to encourage you, God's ears are inclined to your cry, He will answer your prayers. In my case, God eventually did answer my prayers and transformed my children to love and follow Jesus and serve Him alone.
Parenting has humbled me significantly. It has made me less judgmental and more sympathetic with those struggling with rebellious children. It has given me a burden to pray for such children. One thing I can assure you, if you ask, you will receive. But we will never know God's timetable, but that, He will surely do it. So, let us not give up praying for our children.

Ponder how valuable your soul must be for Satan to tirelessly pursue it, and the King to lay down his own life for it.
