In the darkness of depression, our Savior—the “dawn from on high”—stands ready to minister his light and life to our weary souls.

When loss and grief intersect with our motherhood, we have the privilege of showing our kids that Jesus “is the safest and surest place to run.”

When we can’t see the way forward, God’s record of deliverance for his people gives us a pattern to trace and to trust.

When we feel the inadequacy of being the only one raising our kids, we cling to the only One strong enough to supply our needs—our faithful heavenly Father.

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

Jesus can use the darkness of grief—even the loss of a precious child—to reveal deeper depths of his character and love for us.

Through all the stages of grieving a child’s diagnosis, we can lean into God’s love and look for the evidences of his faithful care.

As God calls us to shed our self-reliance in life and motherhood—depending daily on his grace instead—we can look ahead with hope to his greater purposes for us.

Grief is a learned process, but we can trust the Savior who knows our sorrows and lean into the stabilizing rhythms of rest and refreshment he gives.

Jesus both understands the deep pain of human suffering and has triumphed over it as divine King over all, so we can entrust our children’s hurts to him.

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.

The simple truths of the gospel are for our children and us—and they bring us hope on our hardest days.
