Give Back to God

www.bible.com/reading-plans/9115/day/2

This devotional hit me hard because I have not been giving things back to God with which He has blessed me, especially our children. Instead, I have a tendency to cling to them tightly, afraid to let them out of my sight or mind lest something happen to them. I have been learning the lesson of letting go for a while now, and I confess that I am not there yet. I need to let my children go. I am disappointed daily in their lack of a relationship with God, or even a desire for one. So, I pray for them over and over, the same prayers. Knowing that their eternal destiny is in the balance, I want to commit them to God and let Him handle their disbelief and the questions that they have raised about Him. Our sons have bought into a lot of the lies of the current culture and I feel that only God can restore them in truth. I want to be like Hannah and give them back to God. Many years ago, they were dedicated to the Lord in church; may the Lord receive that dedication and continue to work in their hearts as I strive to let them go.
