Mum, You’re not alone

What is the most challenging job in the world? Many have said it is being a mother, if it is ever considered a “job”. But while it’s not a job in the strict sense of the word, it is nevertheless a tough endeavour. Motherhood is a blessing, but sometimes, it can be a lonely one too.

For some, motherhood is a time of spiritual dryness as they feel too depleted to carve out time to be alone with God. However, motherhood can also be a time of reliance on God as the struggles become overwhelmingly immense and real.

You are not alone. God hears your cries, whether in your heart, in the silence of the night or even together with your children’s cries. Isaiah 66:13 says, “I will comfort you there in Jerusalem as a mother comforts her child.”
