I know we place our children on the Cross and leave them there, just as the Lord has directed. When we see our adult children fall into a life of trouble in any way it really doesn't matter, then we hurt with them. When your child is in trouble of the heart, we ach with them. We are still emotional beings who only want to comfort our children. Now, I know there is no harm in this whatsoever. I also know that there is a problem there when we find ourselves being more than a shoulder to cry on. If we find ourselves to doing things and trying to make more decisions for them. If we continually are giving unsolicited advice, then we are stepping in the job of the Holy Spirit. No, matter the place we find ourselves we are still to love our children and turn it all over to God. When our children come to us for advice and direction, we must remember that we are all children of God. We need to just give it over to God and teach our children to do the same. Our best advice is that we tell our children to give it to God and trust in Him, know the Holy Spirit will lead them. We also should know that our children won't always listen to our advice even when asked for. We mustn't get mad at them when they don't listen to our advice. We need to remember we have all faced adversity in our lives, we must learn that we need to rely on the heavenly Father and not people. This is the only way we can truly be lifted out of whatever we fall into.
I fall to these scriptures when it comes to my children:
Proverbs 22:6 NKJV
6 Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it.
Ephesians 6:4 NKJV
4 And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord.
I have to continually give my children over to the Lord in all their troubles. These scriptures are the comfort I need in times of trouble my children may face. I have never found a peace in my life that comforts me like the Word of God when I practice the Word of God in my life. The Lord has shown me a comfort and peace like never before when I have given my children to Him and completely let go.

Where do you wish to live? On which side of the road do you wish to walk?
Thank you Father for continually helping me to let my children go and giving them to you. I thank you for teaching me to rely on you in all things, especially with my children. I thank you for helping me to teach my children to rely on you in all things and teaching them that nothing is able in life without you. I look to you Father for helping my children to find the ones in their lives that will lead them to you. I pray all I can do is plant a seed for your harvest in my children's lives. Father I thank you in all our endeavors to follow in your word faithfully. I pray all these things in the most loving protective kind emotional simple yet complex humble gracious name of Christ Jesus, Amen!
