Raising Children in the Gospel: Responses to Two Controversial Questions
All in all, during the entire process of conceiving, delivering, and educating [children], we should rely on God as a whole.

Only God can make our children grow. As parents, we can only build them up with God’s word, pray for them, and entrust them to God. Only with the cross of salvation, the presence of God, and the supply of God’s grace, can we and our descendants triumph.
