Raising Fatherless Kids

153. Healing Hearts: How to Support Children Who Experience the Fear of Abandonment


Listen Later

Father loss—through death, divorce, or desertion—can lead children to struggle with fears of abandonment. The absence of a father can open the door to fears of rejection and insecurity, impacting children emotionally, spiritually, and even physically.

In this episode of Raising Fatherless Kids, Lori shares biblical encouragement that God promises to be a father to the fatherless (Psalm 68:5). 

  • Understanding abandonment

  • Signs of abandonment fear

  • Practical ways moms can help their children navigate these emotions and fears

  • The importance of speaking and praying biblical blessings over your child for wisdom, strength, protection, and peace

Encouragement for Moms:The enemy wants children to believe they are abandoned, but God’s truth says otherwise. He is near, faithful, and working all things for good. Look for Him, trust Him, and guide your children toward His unfailing love.
