Grace-Fueled Motherhood: Finding Strength in Psalm 62:7
What do you do when your mental, physical, and spiritual strength reach a very low place? You're burnt out from the pulling and tugging of everyday demands. You see your to-do list and open your planner, but you are just not motivated and have no strength. In these moments of exhaustion, it's essential to turn to a source of unwavering strength – and for many career moms, that source is their faith.
In times of struggle, Psalm 62:7 provides a comforting reminder: "In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God." Acknowledge that God is your source of strength and refuge. Trust in His ability to sustain you through the challenges of balancing work and family. Because it will help us to walk in a calm resolve.
Here are four valuable ways career moms can depend on God for day-to-day strength, drawing inspiration from Psalm 62:7:
1. Trust in God's Strength
"In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God." (Psalm 62:7)
Acknowledge that God is your source of strength and refuge. Trust in His ability to sustain you through the challenges of balancing work and family.
2. Prioritize Prayer and Reflection
"My soul, wait in silence for God only, For my hope is from Him." (Psalm 62:5)
Make time for prayer and reflection daily. Seek guidance and find solace in quiet moments with God, allowing His wisdom to guide your decisions, actions, and planning.
3. Delegate and Set Boundaries
"Trust in Him at all times, you people; pour out your hearts to Him, for God is our refuge." (Psalm 62:8)
Entrust your responsibilities to God, and recognize the importance of setting boundaries. Trusting and believing in God’s provisions. That He will provide all the resources you need. Delegate tasks where possible and prioritize self-care to maintain a healthy balance.
4. Find Rest in God's Presence
"One thing God has spoken, two things I have heard: Power belongs to you, God." (Psalm 62:11)
Remember that true strength comes from resting in God's presence. Take moments to recharge spiritually, knowing that God's power is greater than any challenge you may face in your career and family life.
These principles, inspired by Psalm 62:7, emphasize the importance of trusting in God, seeking His guidance through prayer to help you to manage your responsibilities wisely, and finding true rest in His presence to navigate all the demands of a busy career and motherhood.
