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.

When we’re overwhelmed at the prospect of welcoming another child, we can anchor our plans and rest our worries on God—who is sovereignly working out good for our families.

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.

When fears and worries surround us, we can grow in having God’s truth at the ready.

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.

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

The same old truths and promises can be applied to our hearts over and over again in new ways.

When we fear the unknown, we can pray to the Lord—he is our hope now and forever.

While the fears of motherhood will change over time, we can always trust in our faithful God who is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
