Be Still and Be Blessed: Devotions for Mothers

DAY 1 OF 7

Not Hiding

There are plenty of times as a mother when even your best doesn’t seem good enough. There are problems you cannot solve, and you certainly don’t have all the answers. You can’t always heal broken hearts or find what is lost. It might be tempting to focus on what you cannot do, to keep your eyes fixated on the areas you are lacking. Instead, today turn your eyes to what is infinitely and consistently possible.

Seeking God is not an unsolvable problem. He is not hiding behind closed doors, waiting for you to crack the code. He is the knowable God. He longs to be known by you, his child. Amidst uncertainty, failure, frustration, and stress, abiding in him is a sweet rush of fresh air, as natural as breathing and as simple as asking. Your relationship with him need not be a burden or another thing you can’t accomplish. He is the God who is easy to discover.

Thank you, God, that you are not difficult to discover. In my weakness, I can have confidence that you are easy to find. When I am overwhelmed by my inadequacies, give me the grace to choose you. Help me develop quick reflexes when it comes to seeking you. You are not complicated or overwhelming. Today, as I turn my eyes to you, teach me to depend on you more fully.

About this Plan

Be Still and Be Blessed: Devotions for Mothers

Finding time to be still in the chaos of motherhood is no simple task. Yet, when we do make time to quiet ourselves before God, something powerful happens. He gives us supernatural rest. He floods our minds with peace. He restores our joy. He whispers to our hearts that it all matters. That we matter.
