We generally look to the Book of Job for help in dealing with trials. Since I've been a father, however, his greatest lesson for me has been his faithful intercession on behalf of his adult children.
In the first chapter, before all hell breaks loose in his life, we read that, following times of feasting, " he would rise early in the morning and offer burnt offerings according to the number of (his children). For Job said, 'It may be that my children have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts.' Thus Job did continually."
I will never "let go" of my children. Instead I make it my goal to worry less and pray more as I practice the patient intercession of Job.
