Because we parents love our kids, we are vigilant to protect them from harm. What’s sobering though, is all the things we can’t control.
We can’t control what another kid says to them, what they are exposed to on the internet, an illness they might pick up, or how someone drives when giving them a ride. Stepparents also have things they can’t control. What a parent in the other home says about them. How quickly a stepchild will open their heart. And never being their spouse’s first love. So, stepparent what do you do? Well, what all parents do. Pray and cast your anxieties on the One who can be trusted with what we can’t control.
