Oh my gosh I can totally resonate with that! I have adult children now and I just see the path that they're going down and I always say I can see the train coming down the tracks and they're not hitting the brakes! And I tried to give them the best advice that I can. But when they don't listen, there's just so much fear because I know the pain that's going to come when they slam into the wall!

Stay at home grandmother here... I was offered resignation in 2021 for denying the jab. Shortly after, our daughter and her husband asked me to stay home and keep our 1st grand. Since then, they have added our 2nd little angel and extended my sabbatical from a 6 figure salary. This is a sacrifice my husband and I gladly make. However, I would love to be considered for a tax rebate or student loan exemption. You see, I have a Master's degree in education. By staying with me, our grands are not only in the safest place second to home, but they are loved, nurtured, and prepared to be productive citizens in our country.

Fear is something I walk hand in hand with. I’m from Israel, I’m a Messianic Jew, and in just a few weeks, my husband will once again leave for reserve duty, this time for three months. And like so many others, I live with the reality that I might not get him back.<br><br>It takes a lot of wisdom to navigate a season like this. But I know that God is the author of our lives, and He has not given me a spirit of fear. So I want to live according to that truth, even when fear feels very real.<br><br>Thank you so much for this session. It really spoke to me, and I’m looking forward to the next ones.

I've never thought of control as fear. Your in depth explanation of it really made me rethink why I'm so controlling but I get it now. In my marriage especially. My control is fear of disappointment, trust and the risk of losing things.

Hearing this was exceedingly insightful thank you💖🌷.. I have identified my fears and relate with Lysa that what I seek passionately is not to control but to help, the hard part is accepting the unwanted and being ok myself not just them.. as Jesus hurt to see brokenness, we too hurt for others especially when we abide in Him and His words abide in us
