Your Question:
Can I still be a good parent when I'm not even sure if I'll make it through the night?
Answer:
As a father of two, I can attest that being a good parent is a journey filled with challenges and uncertainties. There will be times when you're not sure if you'll make it through the night, but that doesn't mean you're not doing a good job. Every parent makes mistakes, and it's how we learn from them that matters. We can't be perfect, but we can strive to be consistent and dependable, providing a sense of security for our children. When I'm feeling uncertain or overwhelmed, I remind myself that my role as a parent is not to be perfect, but to be present and available to my children. I pray for the love of God to fill me, so I can pour it out onto them. This helps me to stay focused on what's truly important, even when things get tough. By being intentional about teaching my children in the everyday moments of life, I'm creating a home where they can flourish in their love for God. It's okay to not have all the answers, and it's okay to ask for help. As a pastor, I've seen many parents struggle with similar doubts and fears. But with consistency, love, and a willingness to learn, we can be the parents our children need, even when we're not sure if we'll make it through the night. By leaning on God's love and guidance, we can find the strength and wisdom to navigate the challenges of parenting and raise children who love and follow Christ.
