Our kids are gonna make mistakes. We remember the stupid stuff we did as kids, right? But when our teens mess up, it’s tempting to feel like a complete failure!

Mom, Dad, when you’re moppin’ up a mess your kids made, it’s easy to assume you’ve let everyone down. If so, think about this verse. The Bible says God is “able to keep you from falling and to present you before His glorious presence without fault and with great joy.” (Jude 24)

That’s a promise we can’t always feel, but we can always trust. God will hold you in His hands, even when life seem to be spiraling out of control, and He will cause things to turn out well, for His glory.

When you feel like a failure, trust Him who can keep you from falling.
