Raising children is one of life’s greatest callings, but it can also feel overwhelming. Young parents need encouragement, and support as they navigate the joys and challenges of raising a family. Every sleepless night, every lesson taught, and every prayer whispered over their little ones is shaping a future generation. God sees their efforts and strengthens those who seek Him.
Proverbs 22:6 reminds us, “Teach a child to choose the right path, and when he is older, he will remain upon it” (TLB). That is the goal of every parent. Parenting is about more than providing—it’s about nurturing faith, character, and love. The seeds sown today will bear fruit in the years to come.
Encourage the young parents in your life. A kind word, a helping hand, or simply listening can make all the difference. Remind them that they are never alone—God walks this journey with them.
