7 Scriptures to Encourage the Weary Mom

-



Are you a weary mom? I've been a weary mom before myself. Moms can and do grow weary sometimes. Weary when your little ones don't sleep through the night.  Weary when the children don't obey. Weary when there are more tears and screaming cries than there is patience. Weary when your teenagers think they know EVERYTHING! Weary when the dishes are piling and the dinner still needs to be cooked ( the dinner no one wants to eat) Weary when you feel like you've lost the woman you once aspired to be. Just weary... 

Yes, weariness stinks, and in the midst of those moments it feels like everyone else has everything all together, and everyone else’s baby sleeps through the night…and everyone else’s teen listens respectfully, and so on and so on...

Precious mom, I am here to tell you that 1) you are not alone, and 2) others are or have experienced your same struggles. Do not be deceived nor discouraged. Normal isn’t normally shared these days.

But, I want YOU precious mom to know that  you are right where our God has you for such a time as this.  He is weaving together a masterful tapestry in you  full of beauty.

 Don’t let the feelings of self doubt and weariness be the place where you land and stay, but rather let  the Lord into the core of your heart and cry out for our him help you and pour into you his peace and glory.  Plant yourself firmly in the truth of Gods word and boldly declare  “I will get through this, because God has got this, and me!" 

And then watch to see the mighty work He does in your life, your children and your family as a whole .  Wait in great expectation and confidence of Gods provision for His beloved children.




SCRIPTURES FOR THE WEARY MOM

Here are 7 scriptures to encourage the soul of the weary mom. I pray they strengthen your soul in the deepest way that only the truth of God's word can do.  

1. “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”  ~ Matthew 11:28-30

2. “But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest on me.” ~ 2 Corinthians 12:9

“I will refresh the weary and satisfy the faint.” ~ Jeremiah 31: 25

3. “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” ~ Galatians 6: 9

4. “Every word of God is flawless;  he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.” ~ Proverbs 30: 5

5. “But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength; they will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary; they will walk and not be faint.” ~ Isaiah 40: 31

6. “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.  And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” ~ Philippians 4:6-7

“SO DO NOT FEAR, FOR I AM WITH YOU; DO NOT BE DISMAYED, FOR I AM YOUR GOD.  I WILL STRENGTHEN YOU AND HELP YOU; I WILL UPHOLD YOU WITH MY RIGHTEOUS RIGHT HAND.” ~ ISAIAH 41:10

7. “Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved.” ~ Psalm 55: 22

Worried About Raising Children in THIS World?

With everything happening in the world these days it's easy to find yourself being worried about raising your children and them growing up in a world filled with so much hatred, violence and an evident lack of genuine love. The way we view the world now, as mothers, is probably much different than we have ever viewed the world around us.  Did anyone else view the world and things differently after becoming a mother? Now, instead of just you to think about you have a whole other life form (or in some cases multiple ones) to think about! I mean that's a tall order, you are responsible for another life! As if being responsible for your own wasn't difficult enough. You now have a new generation of other people to think about and that's deep. Then add on everything we have seen and experienced in the last year and the last few days going into the new year and well, my heart just crushes a  bit thinking about the future for our little ones. BUT.... When I cast my human flesh

Simple Strategies for Teaching Children to Manage Anger

Can we talk for just a moment about anger... It's on my heart and I'd like to have a real discussion about it. Not just anger in us as parents, but anger in our children. You see, I've come to realize that many adults are not aware of how to manage their anger, simply because they were never really taught how to when they were younger.  And so we have to vicious cycle of under managed and or mismanaged angry behaviors that just continue to repeat in us as adults and we pass it on to our children, and they pass it to their children and so on and so on.  Anger is a normal, healthy emotion. But many kids struggle to understand the difference between angry feelings and aggressive behavior. Frustration and anger can quickly turn into defiance, disrespect, aggression, and temper tantrums when kids don't know how to deal with their emotions. Often times when children are younger and they express a feeling of anger, we as the parent get upset ourselves at the little child  and
