Not one soul of them did perish AND neither was there one soul among them who had not received many wounds.
Immediately gave orders that my men who had been wounded should be taken from among the dead and caused that their woulds should be dressed.

Take hope in the story of the Stripling Warriors.
You have taught your children to trust in God.
Now You have to trust in the "long game"
If your children are currently out on the battle field,
there is hope.
They will receive many wounds.
But Christ will dress their wounds,
Their SOULS will Not perish!
Do not judge yourself too harshly or too soon.
The end is not yet.
We are in the messy middle.
It's not too late for you or your kids.
The battle is real and it is wounding
But Christ is real also and he will dress those wounds.
Your job is just to continue in hope and faith.
Lengthen your lens.
Use this story as a light of hope.
not as one more indication of failure on your part and another weapon to wound yourself with.
Do not doubt. God WILL deliver them.
If He hasn't yet, He will!
It's never too late.
No matter how old your kids are.
No matter what they are doing.
You are still their mother and your faith will help them.
The stripling warrior's fathers had all been killed but God still delivered them.
In an eternal perspective.
Their mothers had experienced that.
So they knew that their sons would also be delivered.
We can also have that kind of faith
and teach it to our children.
Even after receiving many wounds,
Jesus Christ will dress the wounds.
God will deliver them!
