We start with our identity in Him, and move on to the challenge of humiity.

From the moment a child enters our life, parenting is a tough job. It’s even harder when a child is struggling with difficult behaviors. Parenting a child in crisis leaves parents worn out from exhaustion, frustration, and fear. God doesn’t leave us, even in the midst of our fears, failures, and fatigue. For foster and adoptive parents, or any battle-weary parent in warfare for their child.

Whether you’re facing childlessness as a result of infertility, miscarriage, or prolonged singleness, it’s easy to be overcome with grief. Childlessness is very often a silent struggle—though many thousands of women are walking this sorrowful road, shame can keep us quiet and feeling isolated. This 10-day devotional Bible reading plan will show you that it’s possible to find hope and that God cares deeply about your longing to be a mother.

Only two letters separate the words victor and victim, yet vastly different outcomes result from living through one or the other. With one you will conquer, the other will conquer you.

Sometimes, no matter which direction we look, it all just seems like too much. Pressures push in on us from every side. Though it’s hard to see, our God is with us even then.
