Psalm 16 helps us pursue contentment in Christ through treasuring, trusting, and turning to God in every season of motherhood.

When our motherhood achievements don’t feel valuable or impressive enough, we can remind our hearts of the freedom, the call, and the glory of Christ.

When contentment in our circumstances seems impossible, we can be encouraged by Paul’s example of learning to depend on Christ and find ultimate joy in him.

In the unseen, ordinary work of motherhood, we can remember that God values and rewards our faithful service.

Instead of discouraging us, comparison can be a means of God’s grace at work in our lives transforming us more into the image of Christ.

The idea of callings can be confusing. Instead of viewing callings as a way to find fun and fulfillment, let’s remember they’re fundamentally an opportunity to glorify God and find our purpose in him.

No matter how many good gifts we give and receive at Christmas, it’s never enough to satisfy our children’s expectations or our own hearts. But God sent us the gift of himself in Jesus—a gift we can enjoy forever.

We often desire to be seen and noticed, but when we’re hidden from others we may find the blessing of seeing the Lord more clearly.

Motherhood is a lot of work. Some of it feels rewarding. Some of it is just necessary. What if we could learn to love the things we have to do, not just the things we want to do?

When brokenness is all around us, can we still be content? Through Christ, we can.

Contentment and eagerness are two sides of the same coin.

We often look for someone to blame when we’re confronted with our sin, don’t we? Social media is an easy target, but the internet isn’t the only thing that incites envy.
