Answer:

**What Will Happen to My Kids After I'm Gone?**

As a parent, one of the most pressing concerns is the well-being and spiritual development of our children, especially when we are no longer present to guide them. The Bible reminds us that our children will continue to grow and develop, just as we have (Psalm 102:25-27). The Apostle Paul writes, "But you are the same, and your years will never end" (Hebrews 1:10-12). This means that even though we may not be physically present, our children will continue to evolve and mature, just as we have.

The Bible also teaches us that our children will be influenced by the values and principles we instill in them. As parents, we have a significant impact on our children's spiritual development, and our relationship with God will have a lasting effect on them (Deuteronomy 6:6-9). If we prioritize our relationship with God and model a godly life, our children will be more likely to follow in our footsteps. As the Bible says, "Give your children a great gift. They will know deep down in their souls that their mom and dad love each other and are never going to leave each other" (Psalm 128:1-2).

When we are no longer present, our children will face new challenges and opportunities. Some will be ready to take on the responsibilities of adulthood, while others may struggle to find their place. As parents, we can have confidence that our prayers will continue to influence our adult children, even after we are gone (Proverbs 22:6). We can trust that God will work in their lives, using our influence and the values we instilled in them to shape their spiritual development. As the Bible says, "Thats a lot of influence!" (Proverbs 22:6). By prioritizing our relationship with God and modeling a godly life, we can trust that our children will be blessed and will go on to bless us in return. Nothing and no one can come back to bless us like those children who have been raised in a loving and godly home. (Psalm 128:1-2).
