In trials, we come to cling more tightly to the precious promises of the gospel and the steadfast character of God—which can transform our deepest fears into an even deeper joy.

In the emptiness of our own exhaustion, we can cry out to the Lord for restoration—of soul, mind, and strength.

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

We can trust God in our motherhood both looking forward (at the days to come) and back (at past mistakes).

Even when it’s difficult, prioritizing worship and fellowship with a local church body helps shape our children in the love of Christ.

Giving our kids opportunities to wrestle with the uncomfortable and the unknown can help grow their dependency on Jesus and equip them for bigger, harder trials yet to come.

As a spiritual father to many in the early church, the apostle Paul gives us a model for how to instruct our children in a grace-based way.

Through the unknowns of a high-risk pregnancy, we can trust in the God who works to bring order from disorder—and who never leaves our side along the way.

When we’re weary as moms and our guard is down, it’s easy to seek “rest” in places other than the Living God—the only One who can truly refresh our souls.

In the darkness of grief and suffering, Christmas is our promise of Light. Jesus—the Dawn from on High—has come to redeem and restore all things.

The truth we celebrate at Christmas—that Christ has come to be Immanuel, “God with us”—is the truth that also anchors us through our deepest valleys.

In a season rife with pressures and expectation, the gospel gives us freedom from shame and a secure identity in Christ.
