Fully Protected

Looking around at the world right now might cause you to be fearful or anxious. It might feel like a tumultuous time, especially as a mother. Not only do you need to navigate the world, but you are leading your children through it as well. Today, take a deep breath and let the Holy Spirit remind you that God’s faithfulness is your bodyguard. His ways are perfect, and he holds you and your children closely. Your hope can be firmly rooted in Christ and his promise to make all things right.

Trust in the Lord not only for your protection but for your children as well. If you are carrying the burden of fear or anxiety, know that God can shoulder those burdens and replace them with peace and hope. When life is uncertain, and new challenges arise, let him lead you and protect you. When the world tells you to be afraid, put your hope in Christ.

Thank you, God, that you are my bodyguard. No matter how uncertain the world is, you are a constant source of hope. Please help me to turn to you with my fear and anxiety and let you replace them with peace and trust. I trust you to lead my children and me through our days. Thank you for your steady leading!
