Jacob

I am so worried that one day Jacob will hate me.  I worry that he will grow up and resent me.  That he will become a teenager and stop talking to me.  That he'll be mad that I am an old parent and that I don't provide him with all the material objects that he wants.  I'm scared that he'll be mad at the choices that I've made.  He'll want things that I can't provide for him.  I heard on Sunday that worrying is a sign that you distrust God.  If I put more faith in God, I wouldn't worry so much.  Maybe I need to trust God more and recognize that worrying is not serving a purpose.  Is worrying motivating me to take steps so that Jacob will respect and love me when he grows up?
