You, Mama: Your Worth in God’s Eyes

Honor her for all that her hands have done, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate. —Proverbs 31:31, NIV

As a mom, you pour your heart into the daily rhythms of your family. From preparing meals to wiping tears, you manage a hundred unseen tasks, each one essential yet often unacknowledged. It can feel exhausting, even thankless. But this verse reminds us that God sees your work and values your role deeply.

You are not just a caretaker; you are a watchwoman over your household. Your efforts to create a loving, faith-filled home are kingdom work. Each diaper changed, each bedtime story, each whispered prayer is a thread in the tapestry God is weaving through your life.

It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by all you juggle or to compare yourself to others who seem to have it all together. But remember this truth: Your worth isn’t measured by Pinterest-perfect crafts or spotless kitchens. It’s found in your faithfulness, in showing up day after day for your family and trusting God with the outcomes.

Take heart, mama. One day, your children will look back and see the sacrifices you made, the prayers you whispered over them and the love you poured into their lives. God’s Word assures us of the lasting impact of your faithfulness.

Challenge: This week, reflect on one area of your motherhood where you’ve doubted your value. Write a prayer, thanking God for the unique role he’s given you and asking him to help you see your work through his eyes. Commit to speaking one truth from Scripture over yourself each day— because you are blessed, mama.
