As we look to Jesus, we grow in contentment, gratitude, and peace—regardless of our circumstances.

In our anguish over a child’s diagnosis, we can prayerfully cast ourselves on the God who is our Creator, Father, Sustainer, omnipresent Guide, and Savior.

When suffering keeps us from investing in our families the way we’d hoped, we take comfort that God can use it to point our children to him as their ultimate caregiver.

In the midst of nurturing a sick little one, we can find hope in the fact that God is both Comforter and Creator.

Even in the devastation of miscarriage, we can find evidence of God’s sustaining grace and redemption hope to cling to.

Tragic events in our world give us opportunities to talk with our kids about the very real consequences of the fall—but to also point forward to the hope of Christ’s redemption.

The truth we celebrate at Christmas—that Christ has come to be Immanuel, “God with us”—is the truth that also anchors us through our deepest valleys.

The psalmists guide us in meshing both deep lament and heartfelt thanksgiving to God, reminding us that, at all times, “he has dealt bountifully with us.”

Through the challenges and unknowns of mothering a neurodivergent child, we can expect God to continue showing us his goodness and grace.

Though the melody of our grief is bitter, the underlying chord of the gospel reharmonizes it with hope.

Though we each experience unique pains in motherhood, the cross gives us common ground to stand on as we look to Jesus for comfort and strength.

As we wait for a precious child to join our family, we can wait in hope and dependence on the God who draws near to us.
