Praying for our Children: Reflections from Academic Dean Vicki Leong

February 11, 2019
By Trinity Christian School

TCS Academic Dean reflects on the article from the Gospel Coalition, "The Parent's Daily Commute":  

“As my own two children have left home, one in her Junior year of college and the other working in Los Angeles, I realize that my ‘job is not done’. I need to continue to lift them up before my Father, as they make their own decisions, choose their mates, drive in LA traffic and on the I-5, I cling to Him, to keep them safe, give them discernment and love with God’s love."


Raymond’s (2019) article states: “But this is also a priority.  They need us to pray.  What happens if we get lazy as parents?  If we presume upon God’s grace, then we won’t pray.  If we minimize the danger of sin, then we won’t pray.  If we overestimate our ability to parent them, then we won’t pray”.

 


This article talks about making tracks in the snow but for us in Hawaii, envision early morning tracks in the sand.  This article says that we continue to have the privilege to lead our children to the throne of grace.
