The God I worship is concerned about our families. In this scriptural instance, Lehi had been prophesying to the people in Jerusalem, and because of the wickedness of the people, they did not like what he was saying and sought to take away his life. God warns Lehi to get out of Dodge.
God is very concerned about our families and will help parents in every way as we struggle with parenthood that comes without instruction manuals. We can be guided by the whispering of the Holy Ghost, listening for counsel and direction and warnings. I have been guided many times in what to say to my children when they asked questions I could not answer or wouldn't share at all. I've been able to give them peace when they were at odds with the world, hope when life seemed miserable, and a sure witness that God knew their troubles inside and out. God's greatest work is to bring us back Home, so He is there to help me in my work as a parent. My sorrows are His sorrows. My joys His joys. My worries His worries. The God I worship is my partner in every way.
