Every new Mommy faces it I’m sure. Am I good enough? Am I strong enough? Am I doing this right? I wish someone could just tell me what to do and how to do it. Mommy hood has its tough moments; I’m learning. It’s not that we are complaining about our duty; we just want to make sure we get it done right. Fact is though, these little gifts from above don’t come with instruction manuals and they’re all uniquely originals.

I’ve already had my moments and I’m just barely getting my feet wet in the Mommy business. When you hold your baby cause they’re crying and want to be held and you cry too because you would just like to be held too and told that it’s all gonna be okay.

Yes, I will admit. Even though my baby was given by God, I have had some hard mind battles that I feel like are just from the enemy of my soul, trying his hardest to hinder the joy of the miracle. (Yeah, I just called you out devil.)

Setting in my rocker, holding my baby, looking into the eyes of a miracle, and crying my eyes out because of a feeding issue that I couldn’t seem to get control of, a scripture came to my heart.

Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,

Ephesians 3:20

It felt like something just clicked on inside of me like, “Duh! why haven’t I thought of this before?” Exceeding abundantly above all that I can ask or think. Anything at all that I can think of to ask God help for, He is able. Anything. I guess at times we actually limit God with what we think He is capable of doing.

You mean God would care about a simple feeding issue to a Mommy and baby that ain’t too much of a big deal but means the world to Mommy; God cares about something like that? Absolutely!!

Once I asked God for help and gave it to Him, within just a few days that little problem worked itself out — God worked it out. It made I Peter 5:7 seem even more real:

Casting all your care upon Him; for He careth for you.

Yes, even the little, everyday, life moments, God cares. Things that seem so frivolous and materialistic, God cares. Even the adventures that new Mommies get to experience, God cares. Colicky baby? God cares. Dishes piling up? God cares. Laundry getting out of control? God cares. It seems humorous to think like that and maybe you even think God is too big and too busy to care about something so dumb. Hey, listen, if it matters to you then it matters to Him.

God can give you strength physically and mentally to do what you know you need to do. It’s not that we’re lazy women, life can just get a little overwhelming sometimes and we lose our balance a little bit. God cares when we start feeling like we’re wobbling on the balance bar of life. He can be our stabilizer.

And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.

II Corinthians 12:9-10

So now I tell my little miracle all the time about how Jesus answers Mommy’s little prayers that wouldn’t matter to anyone else. I tell Him how Jesus is Mommy’s best friend and I will share Him. I tell Him how Jesus helps Mommy get through hard days.

As long as my little man has Jesus & Mommy, he’s gonna be just fine.

Facing something difficult in your life?

Have you talked to Jesus about it yet?

He cares. No matter how small and insignificant it may seem, He cares.

He is able. Trust me. I’m experiencing living proof.
