Parenting Was Never Meant to Be Done Alone

Returning to God as the True Parent

Parenting can feel like walking through fire barefoot. Raw, exhausting, confusing, and relentless. We devour books, podcasts, and Instagram reels. We beat ourselves up for the mistakes. We carry shame in silence and wonder: Why is this so hard?

But maybe parenting isn’t hard because we’re doing it wrong.
Maybe it’s hard because we’re doing it alone.

Not alone in the sense of lacking help or co-parents (though that can be part of it).
But alone in the soul. Alone in the spirit.
Cut off from our True Source.

We live in a culture that praises self-reliance. “Figure it out yourself.” “Push through.” “Don’t burden anyone.”
So naturally, when parenting gets hard, we assume we need to fix it. We need better strategies. We need to stay calm, be consistent, regulate, discipline, teach, protect, guide, not allowed to fall apart while doing it.

Society rewards this behaviour. Sadly, it’s all backwards.

Here’s the truth that changed everything for me:

These children are not ours.
They belong to God.

The creator of US.

This is not a religion.

This is a TRUTH.

Humans didn’t create us, we are their Gift passed down through each generation, to have the opportunity to learn about LOVE.
We are the stewards. The guides. The vessels.
But God is their true parent AND ours too.

We’ve forgotten that we don’t have to carry the entire emotional, spiritual, and psychological weight of our children’s lives on our own shoulders. No. This is what was conditioned into us.
We’ve forgotten that we can ask for help - not just from therapists, books, and parenting experts, but from the very One who formed our children, and formed us.

We are trying to parent with only human wisdom and personal grit, and that’s why it hurts. And thats why its calling us back, over and over again.
Because our souls are not designed to do this alone.

We were made to parent in partnership with God.

Parenting is supposed to be a GIFT.

Anything other than that, is the wounding.

So, what does parenting in partnership with God look like?

It looks like falling to your knees with earnest feeling, when you don’t know what to say.
It looks like praying, “God, show me what this child needs right now. Help me see them the way You do.”
It looks like saying, “I surrender my pride, my need to control, my fear of failing, please guide me, help me feel my emotions about this.”
It looks like being humble enough to admit: I can’t do this without You, God. And I was never meant to.

God’s love has space for both your anger and your awe. It’s ll allowed and the more honest you are the deeper he can pour His love into you.
Both your melt-downs and your miracles are welcome.
And He doesn’t just care about your children - He cares about you, the one raising them.

When we reconnect to the True Parent—our Creator—we stop seeing ourselves as broken or inadequate.
We start seeing parenting as a divine partnership.
A holy invitation to grow, to soften, and to receive divine guidance every single day.

So if you're weary, if you feel like you're failing, if you’re scared you’re messing it all up, please pause and feel this:
You are not alone.
These children are not just yours.
And you were never meant to raise them by your own strength, through your own wounding from your unhealed childhood, without guidance..

Ask. Listen. Receive Healing.
You might be surprised how God helps directly when you ask Him to.

If this stirred something in you, take a quiet moment today and connect with God.
You might just find a peace that parenting books can’t offer.
