Today Julie Eberle reminds moms that sometimes mothering can be overwhelming and exhausting, that you're not able to meet the needs of those you love and work with. But God's strength is sufficient, if we take our needs to Him. So, how do we fix our eyes on Jesus every day, being with us in each area of our lives every day? First, every day tell the Lord that you need Him, and live from that need, even if it's a brief moment! She also recommends, "Scripture Confessions for Moms," a resource that helps bring Jesus into our homes. Acknowledge every day that God is Lord, not you. Secondly, long for Him every day. Lastly, invite Him to be your strength every morning, including those times when you feel like you don't feel like you have it together, it's a great time to remember that Jesus is our strength!

Isaiah 33:2; Lamentations 3:22-23

Do you tend to "tough it out" at times?

Before you begin the day, fix your eyes on Jesus, invite Him into every area of your life, and choose every moment to rely on His strength, rather than your own.
