Word Wednesday

Today is officially “Word Wednesday” otherwise known as “Hump Day.” We’ve made it half way through yet another week on the wonderful, exciting and bumpy road of motherhood. Therefore, some of us are looking for some encouraging words to make it through the rest of the week with Joy and Peace. At night before my son goes to bed, in addition to reading bible stories, I read him a passage out of “Prayers That Avail Much, First Blessings for Your Child” by Germaine Copeland. Mommies we have to keep our children prayed up and constantly put Gods word in their hearts.

Yesterday’s passage read, “I ask the Lord to give me the wisdom to teach you, __________ (your child’s name), to wait upon Him. When you wait upon the Lord, He shall renew your strength. You shall mount up with wings like eagles; you shall run and not be weary; you shall walk and not faint.” A portion of this passage comes from my favorite scripture, Isaiah 40:31. I find so much comfort in knowing that no matter how tired, weak or frustrated I feel I can always be renewed by the Lord.

We all have those moments when we just want to scream or crawl under the sheets and shut everything out, especially as parents! I have found that in those moments if I just seek His face all will turn out just fine. We should teach our children to do the same. It’s hard enough for them growing up in the world today. This is why our children need to know what to do when they have their moments of frustration and weakness. We are not exempt from having these feelings; therefore, we all need to be uplifted and encouraged sometimes.

I also want you to know that you are not in this alone. Not only do we have the Lord to lean on, but we have each other as well. It is so important that we are connected to others that are living submitted lives and can help us when we need it. Saved M.O.M. is here for you so feel free to submit your prayer requests or contact me at info@savedmom.com.
