Your Question:
How do I prepare my kids for the fact that Mom will soon be gone?
Answer:
As a pastor and a father, I believe that preparing my kids for the fact that their mom will soon be gone requires ongoing prayer and a deepening relationship with God. I pray for my children, Joshua and Rebecca, to have a heart to follow God and to be continually drawn towards Him. I ask God to silence the enemy's attempts to pull them into worldly thoughts, attitudes, and actions that are opposed to His will and ways. As I pray for my children, I also recognize the importance of being a wise and discerning parent, guarding their hearts as I help them to know themselves. I must also be aware of my own emotionally unhealthy tendencies, lest I burden my kids with my own unresolved issues. By neglecting this, I risk passing on my own struggles to my children, which could impact their relationship with God and their understanding of His love for them. In preparing my kids for the reality of their mom's eventual departure, I also want to encourage them to develop a deep understanding of God's love and presence in their lives. I want them to know that they can always come to God, their Heavenly Father, for comfort, guidance, and strength. By teaching them to seek God's face and to trust in His goodness, I hope to give them a sense of security and peace that will carry them through even the toughest times.
