Keep your mind on what He says and not what you see. For the parent: Isaiah 26:3 "You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you." Trust God with your children and you will be in peace.For the child: Isaiah 54:13 "All your sons will be taught by the LORD, and great will be your children's peace.".Here are a few scriptures to help: When your children are troubled

When circumstances tell us something different than the promises of God, we must go back to what God said in his Word to reset our faith. How do we keep that hope when what we see seems to compete against our faith? We need to remember that "faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God" (Romans 10:17). But Paul encourages us by the prompting of the Holy Spirit that "faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see" (Hebrews 11:1). Satan knows that if he can cause us to look only at what is seen we will never be able to hope for the unseen. However, we are invited to "cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you" (I Peter 5:7).

The devil knows that if he can ensnare us with worry, we will be unable to trust our Maker. The enemy knows that if he can distract us with fear, we cannot excel in faith! But we are told not to be fearful about anything! For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind (II Timothy 1:7). But God has left us promises in the Scripture that we can hold on to. One of the greatest fears of every parent is that our children would experience sickness, tragedy, or, worse yet, fall away from the faith.
