Biblical Words of Encouragement For Moms
Check out these biblical words of encouragement for moms who are tired and feeling discouraged.
The reality is that your story is not over. God is working in the midst of your pain. The Bible says we are not forsaken, crushed, or overtaken no matter what has happened.
Philippians 4:8-9 says, “We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair. We are hunted down but never abandoned by God. We get knocked down, but we are not destroyed “(NLT).
Additionally, He is working through your suffering to bring you to a new place. The fact is we let our emotions take over the Truth and let fear into the situation. It is easy to do!
In reality, even discouragement is a gift if we lean into Jesus. It can bring about all sorts of good things if we look at the whole picture.
Our trial ultimately stirs up the hope of Jesus. It gives Him a chance to step into our situation and work when maybe He was not invited to do so before now.
God sees you. He knows you are stretched from limb to limb. In fact, He thought of you when these verses were first penned thousands of years ago.
