As a parent, I am grateful to be a Christian first, because when I am prone to worry, I can pray about whatever it is and be peaceful in otherwise uncertain conditions. The other day my daughter told me, who is away at grad school by herself for the first time, that her boyfriend of a year or so had kinda broken up with her. As a parent I was concerned with her being alone, and so far away, with few friends close by. Well I texted to check in on her last night, and she said she had locked herself out of her apartment, but that a new classmate close by had taken her to another new friend's house to spend the night.
As a mom I said a huge thank you! Not that my daughter had locked herself out, but that through that mishap, God was able to surround her with friends, so she wasn't alone. An answer to a mother's prayer...
Yes, God knows how to direct our footsteps, even in our difficulties. Romans 8:28 "And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them."
Matthew 6:26, "Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows" (Matthew 10:29–31).
