Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.
Psalms – Chapter 138:7 (KJV)
Instinctively as parents, we are given to protect and shield our children from danger, we don’t want to see them hurt or cry. Thus, we tend to get out of our way to shield and protect them.
But what if I told you a little hurting will do them some good? What if I told you they will learn a thing or two as they shed those tears? Surely this is the truth!
Our duty as parents is not to stop our children from making mistakes. No doubt, we should protect our children from danger, but we must allow our children make mistakes.
A popular adage says; “experience is the best teacher”. This saying holds some truth for us as parents and our children too. There are certain things our children can learn only through experience or trial and error and from mistakes.
Therefore, our duty as parents is not to prevent our children from walking in the midst of trouble, but to provide guidance for them while they walk.

Heavenly Father, let my children’s mistakes not destroy them, let them learn and develop from them in Jesus name.
Amen!
