Biblical encouragement for the overwhelmed and stressed mom
Recently I asked a group of mamas what topic they’d most like to study and the resounding answer was stress management. We mamas are stressed!
And I relate. In this season of life, I’m trying to figure out balancing all the things from homework to practices to work to laundry to grocery shopping and on the long to-do list goes!
Unsurprisingly, I was very on board to do a study on stress management; I’ll be the first to raise my hand and admit I’m a struggling mom.
So, I created this free 30-Day study, “Grace-Filled Stress Relief,” just for busy moms. I know you don’t have a huge amount of time and you don’t need anything else hanging over your head.
The study is simple and straightforward. In just a couple of minutes a day, you can draw closer to God and find His peace and rest in the midst of your hectic mama life.
I’d love to have you join in our community of moms in the private Facebook group, Christian Moms with Grace, as well. We discuss these sorts of topics often!
Throughout the month of October 2024, we will be delving into this study in even more depth. Please join us!

Why “Grace-Filled Stress Relief?”
As Christian moms, we juggle many responsibilities: parenting, homemaking, working and maintaining our personal faith. The demands can often leave us feeling overwhelmed, exhausted and out of balance.
But God promises peace even in the midst of life’s chaos. This free 4-week study is designed to help you manage stress, find balance, experience spiritual growth and deepen your trust in God.
Through weekly devotionals, Bible readings, prayer prompts, videos and practical steps, you’ll discover how to rely on your faith for peace in every situation.
In order to be the best mom we can be, we have to go beyond our own strength and rely on God’s plan for our motherhood. This study will help infuse your parenting journey with more of God’s peace to help you have less stress.
And this study is a great way to find some Biblical perspectives on stress management for moms that is completely free.
What’s included
The study is broken up into four different weeks. You’ll find the links for each week and its resources below.
Each week has a PDF you can download and use in your daily life. It includes the following:
- A short devotional for the week

- Three reflection questions for the week

These resources are available for each week, so just head to the current week, and download the material.

The idea of a balanced life sounds good. We imagine being able to do it all: care for our children, pursue our passions, love our husbands, draw closer to God, maintain our household, get involved with volunteer work and connect with our friends.
But, the truth is, we can’t literally do it all or do it all well. The good news is, though, that this idea of doing it all isn’t Biblical. God’s Word is full of wisdom to help us find a more balanced approach to life — even in the midst of the chaos of motherhood.
Having a harmonious balance in our lives leads to less stress, greater contentment, a stronger spiritual life and all sorts of good things!
