Seeking God in a busy world and staying consistent can truly be difficult and often times we tend to give up on things we want to work on because it feels impossible, in this blog we are to talk about How to diligently seek God as a busy mom.
Honestly I believe that it is a constant learning process and commitment to seek God in the midst of our struggles because life doesn’t stop, rather it increases and intensifies.
So let’s talk about it! Let’s get real, raw and honest about How we can seek God diligently as a busy mom.
Struggles of a busy Mom
We all have different life’s and different schedules but I believe deep down we share the same feelings whether we are overwhelmed and struggling to stay afloat or we are unmotivated and lost.
I am a single mother and honestly it is really hard. My struggle is carrying the weight of mom and dad in one household.
I work, pay the bills, cook, and clean the home while being sure to nurture my children, learning to lead them through the difficulties of life.
All the while trying to heal from old wounds and trauma, building relationship with God and understanding my identify through past broken confidence.
It’s hard and sometimes I get so overwhelmed that I question if I am good enough and can I really do this on my own?
Seeing God in the midst of the storms
Being a single mother and navigating through life’s challenges and often feeling like I am carrying the weight of the world has been extremely difficult.
But God, has stepped in and has shown me that I am not alone.
Understanding this was the beginning of the fuel I needed to seek him diligently.
Seeing that there is a way that I can be successful in my responsibilities without feeling overwhelmed all the time was a liberating experience in itself.
When things got difficult and I felt stuck I began to understand that there is someone I can pour my heart out too ready to listen and counsel me in return.
Making God the center of our homes creates order for us and our children.
You are enough
Being a mother is one of the most purest love and experience.
Just as it is pure in love it is challenging.
There is something so deep and special about becoming responsible for this beautiful human who sees a super hero in us.
In our presence they feel safe and comfort that all will be well.
Often times we protect them from the hidden struggles we are facing.
And sometimes we do things that are not healthy from our past childhood trauma with our children that makes us feel unworthy of our position as their guardian.
Through it all YOU are ENOUGH.
Because God says you are enough, he has created you and called you to care for his children because he says you are the woman for the job.
The truth is wether you are a single mother or you have a partner that helps, we are not meant to do it on our own.
So why do we sacrifice time to seek Jesus diligently in the midst of our busy life’s?
Because we need God in every detail of our life’s.
See, God knows our beginning and our end, he knows our strengths and our weaknesses.
He seeks to heal us, protect us and redeem us.
He wants to take the burden off our shoulders and the truth is it hurts him to see us attempt to do things on our own, knowing he can get us through it.
Everything he has ordained for us has a purpose and there is meaning within every experience.
Sacrifice
The truth is there are no fancy rules or words to say how you can seek God diligently as a busy mother with all the hats you carry.
It will require sacrifice! Because in all honesty in anything we begin it doesn’t always feel good at first and it won’t always feel natural to us.
But when we understand that it is something we need to even handle everything else we are responsible for that makes the sacrifice worth every bit.
Most importantly we need to understand that God does not condemn us for not being perfect and when we fall short on spending time with him, rather he is waiting for us to call out to him for help.
We all have different lifestyles and schedules, wether you work from home or outside of the home. Maybe your children are in sports or they have additional needs, it can be hard to find a moment in the midst of that.
I realized what worked best for me is when the whole house is quiet and there won’t be any interruptions.
This is the sacrifice part, you might have to wake up an hour earlier or you might have to stay up an hour later.
This however will allow you to have the quiet time you need to rest in Gods presence and cast all your cares on him.
Sacrificing time with God in our day sets a foundation for success, it is not saying the day will be perfect but you will be spiritually equipped to handle anything you may face.
It won’t be easy but it is worth it, God is worthy of our time and dedication for him.
Like we spend time to build relationship with our husband, children or friends, we must dedicate that time to God because he wants to grow in relationship with us.
You see just as we are a parent, he is our father and just as we care for our children and want to help them, that is exactly how God feels about us.
Take time today to pray and rest in Gods presence. Ask him to help you with this because In every situation he is ready to lead us through it.
Remember, you are not alone! There are many of us trying to figure out this thing called life. But our greatest blessing is we don’t have to do it alone.
Until next time Beloved.
