Encouragement for Moms

Being a mom can be the hardest job,

but also the most rewarding.

As a single mom of three with a full-time job outside of the home, I understand the demands of motherhood. It is an all-encompassing balancing act 24 hours a day, seven days a week. All ages and stages come with their easy and difficult components. However, all ages and stages matter.

Of all of the literature and information available for parents, scripture encourages me the most.

I hope this encourages you, as well.

1. Galatians 6:9 (NIV)

“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”

🧡 Even on the hardest days, your loving work as a mother will bear fruit.

2. Proverbs 31:25-26 (NIV)

“She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come. She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue.”

🧡 God sees your strength even when you feel weak.

3. Isaiah 40:11 (NIV)

“He tends his flock like a shepherd: He gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart; he gently leads those that have young.”

🧡 God has a tender place in His heart for mothers and gently leads you through this season.

4. Psalm 127:3 (ESV)

“Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward.”

🧡 Your children are a divine gift—never forget how sacred your calling is.

5. 2 Corinthians 12:9 (NIV)

“But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’”

🧡 God’s grace will meet you in the messy, tired, and overwhelming moments.

6. Philippians 4:13 (NKJV)

“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”

🧡 You're not doing this alone—Christ gives you the strength to carry on.

7. Lamentations 3:22–23 (NIV)

“Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.”

🧡 Each day is a fresh start—God's compassion will carry you.
