A parent may feel anxiety when a child of theirs goes away for an extended period of time, for example, if they go away to yeshiva or to seminary. The parent had been used to watching over their child at all times, knowing where he or she is and expecting them to be home at a certain time. And now they feel helpless and worried. We must know, even when a child is close by, it is Hashem who is watching over him and He knows how to watch over our children much better than any parent could. When the child is away, it is the same Hashem who is looking after him there, and a parent should feel at ease knowing this.
Hashem knows things we could never know. He gives life, and He maintains life and we should be so happy to know that He is the one who is guarding us and our children at all times in all places.
