Motherhood is hard. But parenting, housekeeping, and making ends meet are only half the struggle. There is a hidden battle raging in your heart between loving your kids and hating how motherhood makes you feel. You never expected that raising your little bundle of joy would lead you down a road of negative emotions like shame, bitterness, and jealousy.
Don't settle for feeling like a bad mom. This thought-provoking and encouraging 40 day devotional for moms will help you stop making excuses for your emotions. Connect with Christ's truth about the purpose of emotions by examining iconic moms in the Bible.
Experience emotional transformation. Allow Christ to reshape your heart and cultivate the fruits of the Spirit through this daily devotional for mothers. Where there is worry, invite his perfect peace; where there is loneliness, invite his awesome love; and where there is sadness, invite his everlasting joy.
This devotional is right on time for me. I am so blessed to be a mother to my beautiful child. I have a 4 year old daughter and we are pregnant with our fourth baby (two in heaven). However, being a mother can feel like an emotional war zone.
One takeaway from the book is that God doesn't want me to be filled with worry and anxieties. I struggle with generalized anxiety disorder so it is a struggle to surrender and give God His throne when it comes to my anxieties. I can be some what of a control freak and a lot of my anxiety is centered around the unknown. But this devoted really spoke to me about how God wants its all. He wants my good parts and my shameful parts.
What has really spoken to me and stuck with me is not hiding my emotions from God. I grew up being told I could only feel happy and pretty much it was a sin to feel anything else. So it is nice to know that God gave us all the emotions and wants us to come to Him with them.
My favorite part of the devotional is the daily truths from God's word. Overall, this devotional is a must read and I plan on going through the 40 days again as God's word always has something to say in regards to whatever season of life I am in.
