Psalm 81:12 So I gave them over to their own stubborn heart, To walk in their own counsels.
As a parent it is sometimes difficult to deal with new situations with your children simply because you have not had to deal with anything like that before.
When children do not listen to parents or guardians they often find themselves in difficult places. Why? Because control has been lost somewhere along the line.
God may stop us in our tracks for us to learn what is wrong with what we are doing. Stop and listen! God is watching and wants to help us but we have to be willing to listen.
