The Truth about Control
Instead of trying to control every outcome for our family, we can depend daily on the One who alone produces the fruitfulness we long for.
Praying the Word: When You Feel Angry
When we feel anger raging inside, we can come to Scripture for the power we need to fight temptation and put on the love of Christ.
Letting Go of Bitterness
When others wound us, looking to Christ’s example and remembering the gospel helps free our hearts from bitterness and resentment.
Do You Have a Good Reason to be Angry?
We can choose clarity and compassion when circumstances don’t go our way.
Wife and Momma, Be Angry and Do Not Sin
Evil should make us angry—but not every occasion demands a display of anger.
Surrendered Motherhood
We claim to believe it, but what really stirs in our hearts when we don’t get the job we applied for? How about when our kids disobey, or don’t do things the way we hope? What runs through our minds when dinner burns, or—even more practically—when our little one wakes early and interrupts our morning “quiet time?”...
What if we accepted the beauty that God, in his sovereignty, wants to cultivate something different than we expected in the hours of that missed nap? We might have a fussy toddler on one hip and a screaming baby on the other, but circumstances like these press us into the joy of sanctification that the Lord graciously ordained in order that we might look more like his Son.
He isn’t asking us to go anywhere that he himself hasn’t been. Isn’t this what Jesus did for us over 2,000 years ago as he prayed, ““Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done” (Luke 22:42).
By his example, Jesus enables us to surrender everything about our lives for the sake of those around us.
Anger in Motherhood: Allowing the Gospel to Shine Bright
When I find myself losing my temper with my children more often than normal, it can be easy for me to spiral downward, feeling guilt, condemnation and listening to the lies from Satan that I cannot change.
But when I believe this lie, what's really happening is I'm believing that I am beyond the reach of God's grace – I'm believing that the cross wasn't enough.
