About this listen
The Session: When Our Adult Children Walk Away From The Faith
By Pamela Henkelman of FamilyChristian.com
Parent Feelings When Their Children Turn From the Faith
- Grief
- Confusion
- Fear
- Relational Depression
Parents Should Prioritize:
- Love
- Empathy
- Open Communication
- Continue to be an Example
- Shame and Failure: Don't let shame paralyze you. It's important to address these feelings and remember that your child's choices are ultimately their own.
- Fear and Anxiety: It's natural to worry about your child's future and well-being, but try to channel that worry into prayer rather than letting it control you.
Parents Should Focus on Maintaining a Healthy Relationship:
- Pray for Your Child: Continue to pray for your child's spiritual journey, seeking God's guidance for both of you.
- Deepen Your Faith: Use this as an opportunity to deepen your own relationship with God and strengthen your faith.
- Seek Support: Connect with other parents who have experienced similar situations. Sharing experiences and finding support can be incredibly helpful.
- Live Your Faith: Continue to live your life according to your beliefs, demonstrating the love and grace of Christ.
Focus on Your Own Spiritual Growth:
- Pray for Your Child: Continue to pray for your child's spiritual journey, seeking God's guidance for both of you.
- Deepen Your Faith: Use this as an opportunity to deepen your own relationship with God and strengthen your faith.
- Seek Support: Connect with other parents who have experienced similar situations. Sharing experiences and finding support can be incredibly helpful.
- Live Your Faith: Continue to live your life according to your beliefs, demonstrating the love and grace of Christ.
Trust in God's Plan:
- God's Sovereignty: Remember that God is sovereign and has a plan for your child's life, even if it's not what you expected.
- Patience and Perseverance: Be patient and persistent in your prayers and love for your child. Trust that God is working.
Focus on the Future: Don't dwell on the past or allow bitterness to take root. Focus on the present and trust that God will guide you both.
