When You Can’t Fix It: Loving Your Child Through Their Struggles

What do you do when your child is hurting, and there’s nothing you can do to fix it? Whether they’re 7 or 70, watching your child suffer is one of the deepest heartaches a parent can face. 

In this Keepin’ It Real conversation, we talk about the ache of watching our kids struggle, the prayers we whisper (or cry) in the dark, and the truth that God sees both of you. If you’ve been asking God for a sign about your child, this is it. He has not forgotten you. He has not forgotten them. He holds you both in the palm of His hand.

We’ll unpack how to walk with our kids through hard seasons, even when we can't fix what’s broken. And we’ll remind each other that God still has a purpose and a plan for their lives and yours.

❓Keepin’ It Real Question: Was there a time when you saw your child struggling and knew there was nothing you could do to fix it… How did you handle it?
