To be sustained in gospel motherhood, we need the soul renewal that only Christ can bring.

In the emptiness of our own exhaustion, we can cry out to the Lord for restoration—of soul, mind, and strength.

When we’re weary as moms and our guard is down, it’s easy to seek “rest” in places other than the Living God—the only One who can truly refresh our souls.

Relaxation is a God-given gift that acknowledges our human limits and points us back to our ultimate rest in Christ.

In the midst of a busy, distracted world, incorporating a few simple practices in our lives can keep us grounded in God’s ever-present care for us.

God ordains our limits in motherhood and uses them for our flourishing—an invitation to find hope, rest, and purpose in him.

Christ offers us the truest rest and deepest relief for our exhaustion that we can’t find anywhere else.

We’re not meant to shoulder the burdens of motherhood ourselves—Jesus offers us rest.

Bedtime is not the only darkness our children will face. But God is the same in the dark as he is in the light.

No doubt about it, motherhood leaves us weary. We know it. We feel it deep in our bones. Jesus came to give us the ultimate rest we need.

At the end of a long day of mothering and meeting needs, how sweet it is to know that God invites us to bring our own needs and emptiness in exchange for his strength and rest.

How can a busy mom find rest for herself? It’s ultimately through cultivating a place of rest that can never be taken away and isn’t restricted to one day of the week. It’s a place of rest in the heart, rooted in a particular person...

We learn rest from the one who is rest. When we heap the heavy mothering burdens of the day or week on our shoulders he tells us this: “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest...

The burdens we put on ourselves as moms can be crushing, but Jesus tells us to come and learn from him (sit at his feet, like Mary).

What are we learning from him? To be gentle and lowly in heart. This is how we find rest in him. When we stop thinking everything is up to us and dependant on our success as moms. His yoke is easy and light for us, because he’s put everything on his shoulders. Our rest is found in putting our burdens on the one who was meant to carry them for us.
