Anyway. I did bring up the subject and perhaps opened old wounds. I apologize FRiend. Forgive me.

There’s a lot in me that proves I have no ability to raise my kids right. I’m totally dependent on Him. The verse I cited is not really an admonition to do right, but a warning that I can’t do right, and need Him. The good news is that trusting Him to it will yield success.

Having lived this, I can attest that rearing and reliance on God does not always result in immediate relief, no matter how Godly or reverent one might be.

In my case, God’s relief came a decade or later, after the tribulations had passed and the damage done (divorce, alienation and a disaster here or there)

Two decades later, the relief came, reconciliations and old wounds healed. God works on HIS timetable, not yours and no amount of preparation can change that.
