Moments for Mums: Endure - Part 1Sýnishorn

I may not be too old, but I am certainly adding daily to my gray hairs! With a 14-year-old son walking into increased independence and two toilet-training toddler boys (and a few more kids in between), I have felt this sustaining love of God. Not particularly in a peaceful way, or necessarily in a conscious way, but as I have come to the end of my rope, unsure if I can deal with another accident, there is a strength that holds me. If left on my own, I am sure I would be a puddle on the floor as often as my boys seem to make them, but God’s rescue wasn’t a once-and-done kind of thing. He promises to continue to sustain us. 

In Isaiah's prophecy, God’s promise to Israel is a reminder that God will continue to carry us and continue to rescue us. 

Question

When you feel ‘done,’ what is it that you turn to? Is it scrolling, chocolate, or wine? Or are you looking at the one who is already sustaining you? 

Prayer

God, your promise to sustain, carry and rescue us is more than we deserve, but everything we need. Thank you for being there with us every step of our journey as we learn to live and love like you.
