When parents struggle over the behavior of their teen… I encourage them to step back and take a look at the bigger picture. No matter what’s going on in your home today… it’s not the whole story. The whole story is what God is up to… His “bigger picture”… which involves plans, people and purposes beyond your imagination. I know it’s hard to do… when you hurt for your child. Your struggle isn’t any less important. But use this difficult season to deepen your relationship with your child… instead of simply trying to “fix” their behavior. Place it all in God’s hands. He’s the one who promises to cause all things to work together for the good of those who love Him. And that’s a pretty good “bigger picture”!
