Your Question:
how do i help my kids cope with my impending death?
Answer:
As a father, it's heartbreaking to think about leaving my children behind, but I believe it's essential to prepare them for the inevitable. When it comes to helping my kids cope with my impending death, I think it's crucial to have open and honest conversations with them. As the Bible says, "Guard their hearts as you help them to know themselves." This means being wise and discerning, recognizing my own emotionally unhealthy tendencies, and not burdening them with my own unresolved issues. I want my children, Joshua and Rebecca, to know that they are loved and cherished, not just by me, but by our Heavenly Father. I've been praying for them to have a heart to follow God, and I want to continue praying for them to be drawn towards Him, even after I'm gone. I believe that if they are saved, it will be on the basis of Christ's redeeming work, and not on any merit of their own. I want to encourage them to have a personal relationship with God, and to trust in His goodness and mercy. As a pastor, I've learned the importance of prayer and intercession. I want to continue praying for my children, even when I'm no longer physically present. I believe that God's love and presence can be poured out on their lives in response to my prayers, and I want to trust in His goodness and mercy to guide them through the difficult times ahead. I want to leave them with a legacy of faith, hope, and love, and I believe that prayer will be a powerful tool in helping them navigate the challenges of life without me.
