It’s hard to have peace as a mom. Aside from the fact that literal peace is often nearly impossible with children around, mental and spiritual peace are also hard to come by.

We have so many things to worry about and keep track of. Keeping our mental space and our spirit at peace is a constant challenge.

One thing I’ve noticed is when I am struggling most with peace, I usually do not have my eyes on God. When I turn to Him, my inner turmoil finds rest.

Because somehow God loves my children even more than I do. I can trust Him to take care of them. I can trust Him to take care of me!

Sometimes what I need most is to pause and talk to God, focus on who He is and lean into Him. Then His peace can fill my heart and keep me going.

Prayer:

Dear God, thank you for loving my family and me. I praise you for your strength, protection and peace. When I start to get sidetracked and overwhelmed, remind me of your presence. Help me to trust and rest in you and your peace. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
