“Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.” – Proverbs 22:6

Parenting in today’s culture can feel overwhelming. The world pulls at children from every direction, and the weight of guiding them toward what is good and true can feel like more than you can carry. Yet Proverbs 22:6 offers a hopeful reminder. What you invest in your children today will echo into their future.

Planting seeds of faith is not about creating perfect kids. It is about pointing them to a perfect Savior. Every prayer, every bedtime story, every example of faith in daily life is a seed that God can water and grow over time.

There may be seasons when it feels like nothing is taking root. Children may resist or drift, and doubt may creep in. But remember, God is at work in ways you cannot always see. He is faithful to honor the seeds of faith you plant.

Your role is not to control the outcome but to remain faithful in the planting. God holds their hearts more securely than you ever could. This brings freedom to release the pressure of perfection and instead focus on daily faithfulness.

The hope for the next generation does not rest on your strength alone. It rests on God’s power to draw them to Himself. Your prayers and example are never wasted. Each act of faith you model becomes a testimony they carry with them into adulthood.
