God goes with them

This morning I am so grateful that God knows what is best for my children and that I can release them into His mighty hands.
Today my sweet daughter leaves to go back to college.  Last week her older brother left.  It's tough on my heart to say goodbye to my kids, but I am thrilled that they are happy and thriving where they are.
Ever since I first became a mom, I have relied heavily on consistently praying over my children.  The practice of committing them into the LORD's Hands over and over serves as a great reminder to me that they belong to God to begin with.  He knows exactly what is best for them.  He knows their needs and just how to accomplish His perfect will in their lives.  I can't go everywhere with them.....but God does.  I can't be there to shield them from evil.....but God will.  Knowing that God is faithful to protect and guide them wherever they go relieves my anxious heart and gives me such incredible peace!
"...He rescues you from hidden traps, shields you from deadly hazards.  His huge outstretched arms protect you --under them you're perfectly safe;  His arms fend off all harm.  Fear nothing...because God's your refuge, the High God your very own home, evil can't get close to you, harm can't get through the door.  He ordered His angels to guard you wherever you go.  If you stumble, they'll catch you;  their job is to keep you from falling..." ~ Psalm 91:3-12 (The Message)
AMEN!
