Having adult children is hard. Part of me is here at home taking care of the child still under my roof and another part of me is also not here. I’m distracted thinking about, wondering about and praying for the ones who are far away. Are they safe, clean? Have they eaten their vegetables, gotten enough sleep, said their prayers? Do they need some encouragement and will anyone notice to give it to them?

My heart aches a little, wishing I could just see them right now. How would I know if something were wrong? Is God going to take care of them the way I would?

Do you struggle to trust God with your kids when they’re outside of your home? Listen to today’s podcast episode from Monica Swanson, based on Psalm 139.
