5-Day Devotional for Moms: Grace in Your GapsSample

Don’t Forget Your Dreams

Verse:
“Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart.” —Psalm 37:4 (NKJV)

Devotional:
In the busyness of motherhood, it can feel like your dreams have been put on a shelf, covered in dust. You tell yourself, maybe later or maybe never. But God hasn’t forgotten what He placed inside you.

The same God who gave you children also gave you passion, purpose, and creativity. You are allowed to dream and mother at the same time. Your dreams are not a threat to your motherhood; they’re a reflection of your full design.

Dream again. Even if it’s slow. Even if it looks different now. That desire in your heart still matters.

Prayer:
Father, thank You for the dreams You planted in me. Help me dust them off and walk in them without guilt. Show me how to dream again with You.

Reflection Questions:

1. What dreams have you set aside during motherhood?
2. Is there one small step you can take toward that dream this week?
3. How might pursuing that passion actually bless your children?
