Intentionally seeking out evidence of God’s grace—in ourselves, our children, and even our circumstances—is a powerful and practical way to battle discouragement in motherhood.

God’s gifts of grace are often hidden in the most unexpected places—even amidst our suffering and sorrows.

Through the unseen struggles of chronic illness, we can take heart that Jesus sees us in our weakness—just as he did the bleeding woman in Scripture.

Imprinting our children’s hearts with rich songs and hymns of the faith is one way we can help prepare them for inevitable trials ahead.

Faithfulness in our work doesn’t hinge on our output as moms; it’s learning to lean on Christ’s strength amidst our limitations.

When contentment in our circumstances seems impossible, we can be encouraged by Paul’s example of learning to depend on Christ and find ultimate joy in him.

God doesn’t always show us why he allows specific situations and suffering, but he does show us why we can trust him.

While battling chronic illness can make it challenging to care for those who depend on us, we can depend on our Father whose strength is made perfect in weakness.

For moms with chronic pain and illness, seeing the impact on our children can deepen the suffering. But we can trust that God works all things for our children’s good, even having a sick mom.

When it feels like you can’t hold it all together, remember it’s God who holds you with loving compassion and steadfast grace.
