Encouraging Bibles Verses for Moms

This post is especially for all my Mamas out there.  I know for me, while motherhood is beautiful and having our children is THE miracle we have been praying for, motherhood was a challenging time. It feels like everything changed in an instant. The routine, the marriage, the communication, the priorities, self-care…a lot of things change and a lot more unexpected things happen in such a short amount of time.

For me, those first three months postpartum were the toughest. I thank God for my husband who would observe and knew when to call in friends, when to suggest a walk or when to suggest going to my in-law’s house for a change in scenery. If you find yourself in that season now, know that you are not alone and that you can reach out anytime. One of the best advice I received was: “There is no right or wrong way. There is only YOUR way.” And that has brought me comfort because I am so good at comparing or seeing certain Moms on social media and think how I am doing it all wrong. But Mama, know that your best is enough. Know that God knew your child needed the gift of YOU and your presence – everything else is extra!

Here are some Bible verses to help get you through motherhood. You can read this way after postpartum…truly, it can lift you up anytime.
