Releasing our Children to God ..

As Stormie writes about her first child Christopher and how she was concerned about everything. I'm sure we all can relate; I know I can. Even, today, I still find myself worrying about my kids and when I don't I feel guilty, as if I don't care enough about them(do any of you feel this way too, or is it just me?).
As Stormie says her son is the biggest care she has - I'm sure we all feel the same but can we really say God here is child's name,  only YOU can raise him/her right and truly keep him/her safe?
Can we vow to no longer strive to do it on our own by entering into full partnership with God? As we continue to read in chapter two we see that sometimes we'll have to choose to release our children into God's hands more than once- maybe even daily. I've been a parent for almost 24 years now and I have had many times of worrying; I did take to God in prayer but I also took it upon myself to control and not fully release my children into God's hands, seeing this keeps the pressure on me and doesn't allow me to enjoy parenting to its fullest; I think I'm ready to release my children into God's hands and trust that they are in good hands. 
I love this in chapter two"we don't want to limit what God can do in our children by clutching them to ourselves and trying to parent them alone. If we're not positive that God is in control of our children's lives, we'll be ruled by fear." "We can trust God to take care of our children even better than we can."-" We can't be everywhere. But God can. We can't see everything. But God can. We can't know everything. But God can." Let's all look at Psalm 139; if we believe God's word to be 100% truth then this should help us have faith to trust our children into God's hands no matter what the circumstances are- no matter how we feel about what's going on in our child's life. I know in light of psalm 139, I'm going to continue to release my children into God's hands daily.
A personal bit of information....
My son(23 years old), got married 4 years ago and has a 3year old son, are they living as I'd like them to be? No! Do I worry about them?? Yes! Do I believe God is taking care of them- yes!
My daughter 21 years old, engaged to be married on the 27th of this month to a young man she met online. Does this worry me? Yes! Do I turn it over to God daily? Sometimes. Do I believe God will take care of her? Sometimes... but in light of chapter 2 I know that I must trust Him and let go so that He can work. Will this be easy- No; did I mention this guy is from Canada???- Can God really take care of my daughter if she moves so far away???- yes, He can but let me be the first to admit I'm scared to death of losing my baby girl; I'm scared to death of un-taught life lessons- but what I must hold onto is the fact that she belongs to God and He is in complete control- where I failed, He will not!
Then this leaves us with my ten year old son, Joel, my biggest fear is messing up someone else's son for he isn't mine by blood but by heart. He has so many hurts and concerns and I never know if I'm handling them correctly or not but today I will choose to release him into God's very capable hands and I know I will have to do this over and over and over...   well we get the picture :). No matter what our children's age or circumstances our trusting God to take care of them is the first step in our faith of trusting He knows best.
Read and memorize Psalm 139, let it be our prayer for ourselves and our children, even our spouses.
