Mom Friends & Messy Moments: Building Community Through Motherhood ChallengesSample

Day 5: You Were Never Meant to Do This Alone
Scripture:
“Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.” – Galatians 6:2 (NIV)
Reflection:
Motherhood can feel isolating—even when you're surrounded by people. We often carry so much in silence, thinking we have to be strong, put-together, and “fine.” But you were never meant to do this alone.
God designed us for community. Real friendships aren't about perfection or performance—they're about presence. About showing up for each other in the mess, in the questions, in the long nights and uncertain seasons. Sometimes it's a friend bringing a coffee. Other times, it’s someone praying for you when you don't have the words.
You don’t need a crowd—you just need a few real ones. Don’t be afraid to ask for help, to be vulnerable, and to reach out. Someone might be waiting for you to go first.
Prayer:
God, thank You for reminding me that I don’t have to carry motherhood alone. Help me be brave enough to reach out and receive the support You’ve placed around me. Show me how to be that kind of friend for someone else too.
Journal Prompt:
Is there someone in your life you’ve been meaning to reach out to or reconnect with? Write down a small action you can take this week to build or strengthen that friendship.
Are you craving a real community of moms who truly get it? Moms who love Jesus, show up without judgment, and are committed to doing life—mess and all—together?
