To be sustained in gospel motherhood, we need the soul renewal that only Christ can bring.

In the emptiness of our own exhaustion, we can cry out to the Lord for restoration—of soul, mind, and strength.

When we’re weary as moms and our guard is down, it’s easy to seek “rest” in places other than the Living God—the only One who can truly refresh our souls.

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.

In the daily tending, weeding, and pruning of motherhood, we can point to the faithful Gardener who keeps and cultivates us too—from Eden into eternity.

When we’re craving comfort as moms, God pours it out on us abundantly through his people, his Word, and his very nature.

Fixing our eyes on Christ and his perfection frees us from the burden of our own imperfections and failures as moms.

Christ offers us the truest rest and deepest relief for our exhaustion that we can’t find anywhere else.

We’re not meant to shoulder the burdens of motherhood ourselves—Jesus offers us rest.

When motherhood humbles us, we can look to God to raise us up.

What happens when we feel more like we’re wilting than blooming in motherhood? We remember God is our strong helper, and we trust him with the blooming fruit.

No doubt about it, motherhood leaves us weary. We know it. We feel it deep in our bones. Jesus came to give us the ultimate rest we need.
