God’s Promises for Your Children
God promises to be faithful to the generations, to hear your prayers for your children, and to hold them in a love greater than your own.
Parents carry deep hopes and fears for their children. God meets them with promises: He cares for the little ones, He teaches and gives them peace, and He is faithful to a thousand generations.
You cannot control your children's hearts, but you can entrust them to the God who loves them even more than you do, and who hears every prayer you pray over them.

How this points to Jesus
Jesus gathered children into His arms and blessed them, and He still welcomes them today. Every promise for your children is anchored in Him, who loves them with an everlasting love. You can place them in the pierced hands that will never let them go.
