Your Question:
Can I still be a good parent even though I'm dying?
Answer:
As I reflect on the question of whether I can still be a good parent even though I'm dying, I'm reminded of the importance of partnering with God in my parenting journey. I've been a pastor for many years, and I've seen firsthand the impact that prayer can have on a family. I've prayed for my own children, Joshua and Rebecca, and I've seen God answer those prayers in amazing ways. I know that I'm not perfect, and I've made mistakes as a parent, but I've learned to rely on God's guidance and wisdom. As I pray for my children, I'm reminded of the importance of being a praying parent. I need to submit myself to God and ask for His help in being the parent He wants me to be. I need to pray for wisdom and guidance, and I need to trust that God will give me what I need to be the best parent I can be. This is not a job for me alone, but rather a partnership with God. I'm grateful for the reminder in 1 Corinthians 10:11-14 that God is faithful and will give me the strength and wisdom I need to succeed. As I look to the future and the possibility of my own mortality, I'm reminded that my children's spiritual growth and instruction are not mine to guarantee, but rather God's work. I can, however, be the primary instrument in their spiritual growth, and I can pray for them and with them. I can teach them about God's love and goodness, and I can model for them what it means to follow Jesus. I know that I'm not perfect, but I'm grateful for the opportunity to be a praying parent and to partner with God in raising my children.
