Starting a school year in the midst of a pandemic may leave us discouraged about all the things we can’t do or control. But the truth is, there are lots of things we can do—starting with trusting our God whose love endures far longer than this pandemic.

Though much of our daily life may be marked by change and challenges, our ultimate hope and purpose in motherhood remains the same—even in a pandemic. We can live faithfully in this season as we depend on the Lord and point our children to him.

At Risen Motherhood, we'd love for you to join our team for a Day of Prayer for moms across the world who are struggling with various effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. On Friday, April 24, once every hour from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. CST we want moms to pray for other moms around the world.

Risen Motherhood community, our hope is not in our health—it’s in Christ. He is risen from the dead and seated at the right hand of the Father. As scary as this is for us—no matter what grief or trial we will face—he is in control, he has a plan, and he is working for the good of those who are called according to his purpose.
