When teenagers leave home because of a job or to attend college parents worry. When a teenager enters highschool or goes out on a date parents worry.
Parents worry about their child's safety.
They worry about their child's success or failure. They especially worry about their child's soul. When a teenager leaves home parents wonder if she or he will walk in the Lord's way. They wonder if their child will stand secure and strong in the Lord when faced with life's many attractions and temptations. Let me tell you, young people, all parents agonize and worry over their children when they are away from home, even if it is only for the night.
