We've all had those overwhelming moments as a mom or a dad when we raise our hands up into the air or we drop our head into our hands and just say, God, please.

Well, I'm John Fuller, along with Dr. Danny Werta. He leads Focus on the family's parenting department, and we have some hope for you today.

But first, Danny,

how about a situation where there was no hope? Oh my goodness. There's no hope.

As a parent, I've had moments where I felt completely overwhelmed. And I can relate to that,

just getting on my knees next to the bed and just saying, Lord, I need you. I need you right now. The first one was when

our son had RSV and ended up in the hospital, had an IV on his head. I mean, that was a moment.

I said, God, please take care of him. I felt helpless. Had to give him over there. He was limp. He had

been throwing up. We were in the hospital

for a few days there. And then challenges emotionally for my daughter, junior high years, moments that

she had situations with friends and felt super discouraged at times. That was another moment that I prayed

and said, God, help me, help me to bring words that are

meaningful to her. And then my son in a time during basketball where he was discouraged with

certain things, and again, going to my counselor, my Heavenly Father, and asking him, Lord, it helped me. And those are moments

on my knees. I had moments where I went in the hallway close to my kids' bedrooms, and I would

just get on my knees at night. And I mean, I can think of more, several other moments, John,

where I found myself on my knees. We've got to do that for our kids.

If we're truly willing to die for them, we can be willing to pray for them all the time.

And there are moments where we just come and say, yep, I'm at the end. Here, Lord, it's up to you.

And please help me with us. Yeah, well, I think if you're identifying it all with what Danny was just sharing,

you're going to appreciate the conversation from Focus on the Family with Jim Daly.

Jim spoke with Stephanie Thurling and Sarah Holstrom on dealing with stressful moments.
