God will bring prayers to completion

I believe every parents has experienced the pain of seeing a child slide down to destruction until he or she is too old to be corrected. Parents especially mothers start to cry and ask,"What happened to my child? Where did I go wrong?"

It is true that the spiritual life of children depends mainly on their parents. But this task is not endless. This means that at a certain point, the responsibility over the spiritual life of the children themselves. At a certain point, the only thing that a parent can do is to say, "I leave you all to God and I will just wait for the seed of goodness that I have implanted in your heart to bloom." Parents cannot be completely responsible for what their children do. There comes a time in the lives of a children when parents have to say, 'I have given my best, I have planted the best.

When you teach , it is not that you are trying to mold a person from a very raw clay. In every person, there is already a seed of truth and the role of the parent and teacher is to bring out the seed of truth within the heart of the children and students. Let us keep in mind that what we are needed now is faith. Evermore what is needed is prayer.
