Jesus both understands the deep pain of human suffering and has triumphed over it as divine King over all, so we can entrust our children’s hurts to him.

God uses even our uncertain steps to sanctify us and teach us to walk by faith.

God doesn’t always show us why he allows specific situations and suffering, but he does show us why we can trust him.

As moms, we can’t keep our children from suffering, but we can help shape their response to it.

Sorrow can become a precious opportunity to point our children back to our Savior—the Man of Sorrows who makes broken things new.

Losses that we relive everyday can be met with God’s mercies that are new every morning.

Mother’s Day can be a time to mourn over what is broken, rejoice over what is good, and look forward to God’s final redemption.

As much as we’d like to protect them, our children will inevitably face trials and suffering. When they do, we can trust God is with us and he’s working in their lives.

For moms with chronic pain and illness, seeing the impact on our children can deepen the suffering. But we can trust that God works all things for our children’s good, even having a sick mom.

Celebrating abundance can make us feel our lack and loss more deeply. But even in grief, we can give thanks to the Lord.

God works all things together for good for those who love him. But sometimes, our circumstances don’t feel good, especially in seasons of suffering. How can we trust that his work in our life is good? We look to Jesus.

The sting of death when you lose a child will flood the heart in moments of deep grief and mournful sorrow, but nothing can take away our hope in the reality that Jesus conquered death.
