“But when our children are adults and making many decisions on their own without input from us, we see all the possible serious consequences of making the wrong ones. And we also see how we will be paying for those wrong decisions right along with them. When we observe life happening to our adult children in a challenging way, we want to help them. But how much is way overboard, and how little is not enough?”

“I love what it says in Psalm 62:5: “My soul, wait thou only upon God: for my expectation is from Him.” THE MESSAGE puts it this way: “God, the one and only—I’ll wait as long as he says. Everything I hope for comes from him, so why not?” Isn’t that awesome? Everything you hope for comes from God. Everything!”

“Only God knows the answer to that question. We parents of adult children may have many concerns, but not necessarily the opening to do anything about them, or even the opportunity to voice all of our thoughts, suggestions, and opinions. At least not to our adult children. But we do have a grand opening to be able to express those concerns to God and invite Him to do something about them. And the greatest thing about that is, when we take our concerns to the Lord—trusting that God hears our prayers and answers them on behalf of our adult children—it means our prayers have power to affect change in their lives. And that gives us a peace we can find no other way.”

“We all need to understand that we can’t “fix” or “change” our adult children. Only God can make changes that last in anyone. Our job is to release our adult children into God’s hands and then pray”
