Does raising Christian kids create a problem-free, happy family?
There are a lot of happy Christian families, but every family has problems of some kind. Each person has free will and many children, teens and adults rebel. If you have a strong willed child and he or she rebels against you and/or God that is not an indication that you failed as a Christian parent. Remember, your mission as a parent is to train a child in the way that they should go and there is a Biblical promise that when they get old, they will not depart from it. As a parent, you will definitely need the fruit of the Spirit the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control (Galatians 5:22). Prayer is powerful all the time, but the power is especially evident in times of trial. A personal relationship with Jesus Christ will bring you comfort and peace when things dont go according to your plan. God is faithful and His timing is always right.
