In times of turbulence, we can comfort our kids by our preparations, our prayers and trust in God’s sovereignty, our presence, and our songs over them.

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.

Scripture memorization helps us reroute runaway thoughts and refresh our hearts with God’s power over our sin and struggles.

When we feel buried by failure—whether struggles with sin or inability to live up to our own or others’ expectations—we can run to Jesus in prayer, casting our burdens before him.

Even though our post-fall encounters with nature can include dangerous, fearful realities, we still can marvel at the God who reveals himself through it and continues to uphold all creation.

When fears overwhelm us as moms, we take comfort in the Good Shepherd who draws near to care for us in our weakness.

When anxious thoughts multiply, we can take comfort in the hope of the gospel and Christ’s promises to redeem us from all the brokenness and suffering of the fall.

When we find roots of performance-based identity and idolatry in our hearts (or our children’s), we can turn in faith to the only One who did meet the mark—Jesus.

When postpartum anxiety reminds us of our inability to boast in ourselves, we can lean into the Savior whose “power is made perfect in weakness” (2 Cor. 12:9).

God’s gifts of grace are often hidden in the most unexpected places—even amidst our suffering and sorrows.

No matter what he calls us to walk through, God is trustworthy and good, and so we can trade our fears for faith.

No matter the challenges of our current season of motherhood, we can rest in God’s faithfulness and promises to carry us safely through.
