Helicopter parenting and snowplow parenting both have something in common - control. Parents that parent this way want to have control, specifically of how their kids turn out. Ultimately, what is at the root of that is a distrust that what their kids have been taught will bear fruit.
When it comes to the Word of God, we can always trust that it will grow faith and produce fruit. Even if we cannot see it in the way that we expect to see it, we have a promise from God. God always keeps his promises.
This gives us freedom from our desire for control because we can attend to the Word of God and then trust. We trust God's promise that God's Word is powerful and effective, as is the Holy Spirit that works through the Word.
