Day 5: Go Forth, Mama!

This is your mission field right now, mama.

The rocking matters.

The lullaby-singing matters. It doesn’t matter if it’s off-key or the words are half made up.

The prayers and proclamations over that precious little life matter.

The constant feeds matter.

Washing their soiled laundry matters.

Reading those stories matters.

Snuggling that little life matters more than you know.

This season might be overwhelming and feel thankless, but you are setting the foundation for their future. God is using this mission field to grow you and nurture them.

This season is setting a firm foundation and creating an atmosphere of love and stability that is instrumental for a child’s growth.

Heavenly Father,

Thank you for tasking me with this beautiful mission. Please give me the strength to press on. Please give me the courage and know when to ask for help. Please steer me in the direction You would have me go. Please help me to nurture and love my child like You love and nurture me.

In Jesus’ Name,

Amen

Know that your mission matters, mama. And you’re doing a great job!

The prayers from your rocking chair might feel discombobulated, but your heart is in it, mama.

They matter.

The work you are doing matters to infinity and beyond.
