“When we turn our eyes upon Jesus, and look full into His wonderful face, the things of earth will grow strangely dim, in the light of His glory and grace.”
Helen Howarth Lemme

We can’t focus on TWO things at the same time. We can choose to focus on our problems and worries, or God.
.
.
When we dwell on our problems and worries, we begin to feel overwhelmed.
When we focus on God, something amazing happens – we find that our lives as moms are more manageable, and less overwhelming.
We begin to feel peace, knowing that our Heavenly Father is empowering us and protecting us!
.
.
We can be in a constant dialogue with God, and we can talk to Him about anything – nothing is too small or too big!! He cares about all of our worries, and concerns. He comforts us with His Truth that everything is going to be OK.

Billy Graham said:
“I’ve read the last page of the Bible, it’s all going to turn out all right!”

I love to imagine Philippians 4:6 was written JUST for moms to encourage us NOT to worry, as I always thought “worried” and “mom” went hand-in-hand!! 🙄
.
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
Philippians 4:6
.
The Passion Translation of Philippians 4:6 says it like this:
“Don’t be pulled in different directions or worried about a thing. Be saturated in prayer throughout each day, offering your faith-filled requests before God with overflowing gratitude. Tell him every detail of your life.”
.
When you want to worry about something, stop and talk to God about it and let HIM carry the burden! He cares about EVERY detail of your life!

I prayed to the Lord, and he answered me;

he freed me from all my fears. Psalm 34:4
