God is alive and he knows everything that happen to us. God does not do evil,is an holy lord. God said I will mercy on who I will have mercy on and compassion on who I will have compassion on. No man can question the supremacy of God when it comes to decision. The bible says you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free. God is holy and they that serve him must be holy. The most important weapon of a christian is FAITH even in time of trouble.God will protect your kids because bible says, the earth is of the lord and the fulness thereof. What you need to ask God is for his protection to be guaranty upon your your kids in faith. There could be temptation and trials but the end will always be better than the begining. Trust in the Lord forever. God loves you.

My daughter is in a situation with her 4 1/2 year old daughter. Long story short & to get to her question, my granddaughter is now living with her father. Bluntly, he is an evil man. The situation my granddaughter is in now is one where she fears her dad, & is in an emotional & mental unhealthy house. She is an acceptional child & has great faith in God, so she is holding on! Her father has told her that he is like God & knows everything she does, so she is scared to tell what is happening in the home. My daughter who is a dedicated Christian is doing great! Our faith in God is seeing us through. But today she ask why she is in this situation if God says he will protect the children!?! I tried to explain it, but I didn’t have answers. I understand better after reading Cary’s comments. Thank you! and pray for my granddaughter!

In response to “Will God protect my Kids ?” – What am I supposed to say. I think the problems we have with understanding God’s promises of His protection stem from our narrow ideas of what really is important. At first glance, it appears that the promises of His protection could not possbily be true when we see what goes on around us. We read consider the lillies of the field …. His eye is on the sparrow … don’t worry about what you will eat or wear … But literally as we speak there are innocent children starving to death ( I thought it said don’t worry about what you will eat ? ) and there are people being slaughtered ( I thought the bible said in Psalms He would defeat our enemies, … mount up with wings like eagles, etc ?), and there are people killing themselves ( I thought the bible said we get a healthy mind in II Tim 1:7). He obviously did not mean that He would always protect us physically, as while Jesus was alive John the Baptist got his head cut off (some things about the middle east haven’t changed much). The key is in Matt 10:28 (fear not those who can destroy the body, but fear the one who can destroy your soul). He promises that the Christian soul will be protected and saved, which is what is really important. We have a hard time understanding this as we are focused on the body and don’t think broadly enough. We have to remember that our feeble minds cannot possibly understand what God knows about the overlap between the physical world and the spiritual world, so it bothers us when we see apparent inconsistencies where He sometimes certainly protects us physically and other times He certainly does not protect us physically. So, yes, He did forgive and protect your sisters soul , and yes He will comfort your family, and yes He will protect your friends children in the most significant meaning of the word protection.
