"The hardest thing you will have to do as parent is to release your children to God and then trust in Him enough to not worry about them."

Can you relate, moms?

As women, we naturally like to be in control. We like to keep our kids close and protect them as long as possible. I remember coming home from college and having a curfew, even though I had lived hours away from home for several years. I would chuckle but comply, keeping to myself how late I had been out the week before...

At some point though, usually between high school and college, parents realize their children are beginning to slip through their fingers and it becomes time to "let go." This happens sooner for some and can be terrifying if your child is in a tough place.

But what if they had a mentor?

What if they had someone besides you that they could call on and that you trusted to guide them? Inevitably, young people tend to stray from their parents in certain seasons of life, but praying for them to find a godly mentor can help set them on the right path when they do.
