Wild Hope Devotion for Mothersنموونە

Wild Hope

Do you ever feel like your pilot light has gone out? Like the spark that once fueled your passion, clarity, and energy has been dimmed under the mental load of motherhood? Perhaps it’s the need to make 1 million decisions a day (so many decisions!) that causes you to never really feel confident you’re doing it right. Maybe you are in a season where you feel you are not showing up well for yourself or others; just going through the motions, trying to get to the end of the week.

That is about to change because now is the time to declare a season of new things. A new season needs a new strategy, and we encourage you to choose wild, contagious hope. Hope is not a passive exercise in wishing; it’s an active approach to living life engaged. Hope is generative. Proverbs 13:12 says, “Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a desire fulfilled is a tree of life.” Hope provides clarity, vision, and vitality.

Looking at the adversity and division that seems to be seeping into the fabric of our culture, hope offers another option–the opportunity to see new paths and ways of living that you might not have considered before. It is a reminder that you can make a positive difference in your family and community and that tough times will not paralyze you. Hope requires courage and trust because to see the new thing God is doing likely means going into the wilds – paths that take you through uncomfortable places and challenges that nourish your deepest longing.

God is doing something new, and you can get your hopes up. It’s time for Wild Hope.
