When Motherhood Feels Like Treading Water

Sometimes the promptings may not make sense to us. They may go against what the world says, how we feel politically, or simply what we want to do. Sometimes even in the midst of following the Lord you may find yourself saying “Whatever you’re doing Lord, I don’t see it. I don’t get it. But I trust you.” Because if these whispers are truly from the Lord, they are good and they are right.

In this season of uncertainty, I know a few things for certain. The Lord is good. His plan is good. Where He calls us is good. And I know that if I fix my eyes on Jesus, He won’t let me drown.

” I keep my eyes always on the Lord. With Him at my right hand, I won’t be shaken.” (Psalm 16:8)
