| Today’s Verse from the New Living Translation |
“I’m not asking you to take them out of the world, but to keep them safe from the evil one.”John 17:15 view in context |
| Encouragement for Today |
| If you’re a parent, you can adapt Jesus’ prayer for his disciples to your own prayers for your children. You may feel a desire to take them out of the world, but Jesus models that the truer-to-reality request is that God himself would keep them safe from the evil one. Notice how this actually leads to more peace: rather than leaning on your own attempts to keep the world from your children, you entrust them to God’s care. You ask and then trust God to take care of them. Your role is to pray, not to shelter. |
