Hanaya's mom: Lord, she belongs to You

Twilight Radio

A flashback of a diary entry written by Hanaya's mother as a young single mom. She pens down a prayer for her little Hanaya and commits herself to raising her as the Lord's girl.
Why some teens are more mature, grounded in their faith, and walk with Jesus by the time they hit 16 or 17? They are still learning, but it seems a strong sense of Godly identity, values, and priorities is already built into them. It's rare to see.
I have noticed in many testimonies and stories that parents, or a single parent, often the mother, intentionally create an environment for their children's Godly growth and authentically model their own walk with Jesus to the kids.
God is after the gaze of the current generation. He is after their focus. As a parent, how can you help your kids perceive Jesus not as a vague murky distant concept, but as a living and dynamic presence in everything they do?
What are your priorities when you earnestly pray for your kids? What do you think matters the most from an eternal perspective?
If they learn to engage with God early and discern the leading of the Holy Spirit, they can make good life choices, avoid many pitfalls, and represent Jesus effectively.
We don't train ourselves so we don't train our children. Everything you believe in has to be practical and applicable for your children. That means you yourself need to be fully convinced. Teach them how to engage with the Lord. For your kids, you should always present the supernatural to them. You should always give them the alternative to ask God for help first. Teach them to pray first. Teach them to believe God's Word first and encourage them not to wait for someone else to do it for them.
