Your Question:
How do I deal with the guilt of not being able to afford my child's medical care?
Answer:
The guilt of not being able to afford your child's medical care is a heavy burden to carry. As a pastor, I've seen many families struggle with this very issue, and I've learned that the key is to submit yourself to God and ask for His help. Just as I pray for Joshua and Rebecca when they're facing challenges, I encourage you to pray for your child, asking God to guide and strengthen them. This is not a one-time prayer, but a continuous cry out to God for His wisdom and provision. It's also essential to remember that parenting doesn't end when your child becomes an adult. As a parent, it's your responsibility to continue offering guidance and support, even when they're facing difficult decisions about their medical care. This might mean working extra hard to provide for their needs, just as I strive to provide for my family's well-being. However, it's also crucial to remember that your child needs to take responsibility for their own decisions and actions. When dealing with feelings of guilt, it's essential to acknowledge that you're doing the best you can with the resources you have. It's not your fault that you can't afford your child's medical care, and it's not a reflection of your love for them. Instead, focus on praying for your child and seeking God's guidance for their well-being. Remember, God is a loving Father who cares deeply for His children, and He will provide for their needs in His own time and way.
