Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen. (Ephesians 3:20-21)
Trusting God as a parent is tough. We want to do all we can to assure our kids' futures, yet we can't really do much on our own. God has the final say. Many times we simply get in God's way. The more we try to provide, protect and prepare our kids, the more we can frustrate what God has in mind. 
Remember how Jacob favored Joseph? (Genesis 37:3-4) How did that work out? God really had to work in that situation!
I am learning to let God be God. The one who I think needs me more, really needs more of God. That is not to say we do not still parent. We just have to give God room to work. Father knows best.
