One of the things I personally struggled most with as a young mom, was a lack of understanding about the role of motherhood in my own life.

I knew who I wanted to be for my children, and I knew what my end goal was for their lives (salvation, following hard after Jesus, etc), but somehow I forgot that motherhood is about more than just "raising little people to become thriving, Jesus-loving adults. Motherhood is also about God making me into His faithful daughter" (Stacey Thacker). When the challenges came (and they did) I saw them as a burden, proof that I couldn't be a good mom, and allowed them to make me mad at God for allowing them in the first place. It's ugly, I know, but it's the truth, and the truth was that this misunderstanding caused me weariness it didn't have to. What I needed was a more biblical perspective...a biblical understanding of the role of motherhood in my life, not just my role in my children's lives.  

Today, on the podcast Stacey Thacker and I are exploring just what a more biblical perspective on this looks like, and the difference it can make in the life of a weary mom.

Root of Weariness #1: A Misunderstanding of the Role of Motherhood

A prayer based on Proverbs 12:18.

There is one thing in our lives that holds great power that can be easily used for both great good and great evil. I have seen it bring people together and tear others apart. I have used it for both wonderful and terrible purposes. It is something none of us can escape. I'm talking about the power of the tongue.

When are you most prone to not use healing words? How can you combat your tongue in the moment? Listen to today's podcast episode from Erin Mohring.

A Prayer for Healing Words

A prayer based on Ecclesiastes 10:4.

"If your boss is angry at you, don't quit. A quiet spirit can overcome even great mistakes." Ecclesiastes 10:4

Have you ever had one of those relationships? The ones in which you find it impossible to please the other person, no matter what you do? It can be difficult and demoralizing, but it's survivable if you use wisdom. Sometimes the best recourse is to keep your head down and let it just roll off your back.

Do you have any relationships like this? How can you use wisdom to honor God even in those hard relationships? Listen to today's podcast episode from Kate Battistelli.

A Prayer for Not Taking Offense

A prayer based on Proverbs 22:11.

I have a boy with big feelings—HUGE feelings—and anxiety that tricks him into thinking some of his feelings are true when they actually aren't.  To keep his heart pure, the Holy Spirit continually helps him focus on the truth, we often recite Philippians 4:8 together, “Finally brothers whatever is true, whatever is honorable, for whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.”

Are there lies your children believe about themselves that you can help them combat with the truth of scripture? What about in your own life? Listen to today's podcast episode from Sandra Peoples.
