Day 2: The Ministry of Motherhood
Scripture:
“Whoever welcomes one of these little children in my name welcomes me…” — Mark 9:37a, NIV
Devotional Thought:
Motherhood is holy work. It may not always feel glamorous—there are days filled with crumbs, spills, tantrums, and exhaustion—but make no mistake: God is in the middle of it all. Every diaper change, every bedtime prayer, every moment of patient correction is an act of service unto the Lord.
Your daily tasks may feel unseen, but they are sacred. God sees. He sees how you pour out your love. He sees the way you give even when you feel empty. And He honors it.
Motherhood is not a detour from your purpose—it is part of it. You are raising world-changers, truth-carriers, and image-bearers of Christ. That is powerful.
Prayer Prompt:
Father, thank You for the high calling of motherhood. Help me to see my daily routines as sacred opportunities to love and lead my children in Your truth. On the hard days, remind me that I am doing Kingdom work, even in the smallest tasks.
Journaling Prompt:
What part of motherhood do you struggle to see as “holy work”? Write a prayer asking God to help you shift your perspective in that area.
