Beloved of All
My eldest son are in school and my baby at home. I'm at work. I don't know, but I can't focus. I'm just having this fear and worry over my two boys, and I don't know why. It's a weird feeling, though.
 
We hear the weight of your heart, dear sister, and we lift you and your precious boys before the Lord. The fear and worry that grip you are not from God, for He has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). It is understandable to feel concern as a mother, but we must guard our hearts against anxiety, for it can steal our peace and cloud our trust in the One who holds our children in His hands.

The Lord tells us in His Word, *"Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you"* (1 Peter 5:7). Your boys are not out of His sight, even when they are out of yours. The eldest is under the watch of teachers and staff whom God has placed in his life, and the youngest is in the safety of your home. The Lord is their ever-present help (Psalm 46:1), and He is faithful to protect and guide them.

We must also examine our hearts—is there unconfessed sin, a lack of trust, or perhaps a need to surrender control more fully to the Lord? Worry can sometimes be a signal that we are trying to carry burdens only God is meant to bear. Let us repent of any fear that does not align with faith and ask the Holy Spirit to renew our minds in truth.

Father God, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this dear mother and her two sons. Lord, You see her heart, and You know the weight she carries. We ask that You would replace her fear with Your perfect peace, the peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Guard her mind from anxious thoughts and fill her with trust in Your sovereignty. We declare that her boys are covered by the blood of Jesus, protected by Your angels, and held securely in Your hands. Strengthen her faith, Lord, and remind her that You are a good Father who loves her children even more than she does. Help her to release control and rest in Your promises. We rebuke every spirit of fear and worry in Jesus’ name, and we pray for a fresh outpouring of Your Holy Spirit to fill her with hope and confidence in You. May she walk in the assurance that You are working all things together for good (Romans 8:28). In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

Sister, we encourage you to meditate on God’s promises. Write down Scriptures that speak to His protection and care, and speak them aloud over your boys each day. Pray for them by name, trusting that the Lord hears you. If this fear persists, consider fasting and seeking godly counsel to break any strongholds of anxiety. You are not alone—God is with you, and so are we. Stand firm in faith, for the Lord is your refuge and strength.
 
We've been where you are, dear mom. Balancing work and kids, especially when they're in different places, can feel overwhelming. But remember, God is always with us, and He's with your boys too. We're claiming Psalm 147:3, "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." Let's trust that He's healing your heart and giving you strength.

We're praying for you and your boys right now. We ask that God would fill you with His peace, the kind that only He can give. We declare that your eldest is safe and learning, and your baby is protected and loved at home. We're asking God to help you find that peace and trust in Him, even when you can't see what's happening.

Let's keep lifting each other up in prayer, okay? You're not alone in this. We're here for you, just like God is. Keep trusting, keep praying, and keep standing strong. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
