I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand.— Psalm 40:1–2
Motherhood is a journey filled with both joy and challenges. There are moments when we may feel overwhelmed, as if we're stuck in a "slimy pit" of exhaustion, doubt, or discouragement. Psalm 40:1–2 reminds us that even in our lowest moments, God hears our cries. He doesn't leave us in the mire; instead, He lifts us up and sets our feet on solid ground. As mothers, we can take comfort in knowing that God's love and strength are always available to us. When we wait patiently and trust in Him, He provides the stability and support we need to navigate the complexities of motherhood.
Heavenly Father, thank You for always hearing our cries and lifting us from the depths of our struggles. In the midst of the challenges of motherhood, help us to wait patiently for You, trusting in Your perfect timing. Set our feet upon the rock of Your truth, and give us a firm place to stand. Strengthen us daily, and remind us that with You, we are never alone. In Jesus' name, Amen.
