Here is a verse that I have found a comfort recently: Rom 8:37-39 ESV (37) No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. (38) For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, (39) nor height nor depth,...

This passage emphasises that Children are a precious gift from God.  It is so important therefore to raise our children in the love and knowledge of the Lord.  If they are to achieve great things in their lives, it will all be in vain without the Lord.

Abram showed...

After all, no one man/woman...

Psalm 1:2, 3: “His delight is in the law of the Lord, and on His law He meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither.” A free man delights in the law of the Lord.  He feeds daily on his word.  (day...
