10 Scriptures for the Overwhelmed Mom

Hello, my friend! Has it been one of those days? You know…the day where you wake up and realize that maybe you’re a little overwhelmed. Actually, A LOT overwhelmed. Today was that day for me. And maybe you’re a Christian Mom feeling overwhelmed too. 

I began thinking about all of the tasks that I needed to perform and all of the things that needed to be done around that house. Could I get to it all? And then I thought about my precious son.

I began wondering if I were neglecting him with doing all of the tasks that I needed to complete. Is he getting enough attention? Have I been teaching him all of the things he needs to know at age 3?

Needless to say, I was frequently calling out the Name of Jesus and asking for help and guidance for this day. I talked with my husband and begged him to tell me that everything was going to be ok. That we were on the right path that God wanted us to be on in this time of our lives.

My mind was in a whirlwind and I began getting frustrated.

Encouragement for Overwhelmed Moms

I suddenly stopped…

Thank God for His many blessings!

I began thanking God for His blessings in my life. I thanked Him for my beautiful son that I prayed for 8 years to hold. I thanked Him for our beautiful home that He so graciously blessed us with.

I thanked Him for giving me the burden and ability to write devotionals and blog to other Christian Moms who may be going through the same things I am going through.

I began feeling the weight of the day lift from my shoulders, and the cloud of overwhelm and doubt dissipated. I am THANKFUL for all that God has done for me. But the truth is that sometimes we as mothers do get overwhelmed, and that is ok.
