Graced to Parent: When You Feel Unequipped

Being a parent is a huge responsibility and sometimes we feel unequipped for the task. The good news is that we don’t have to be perfect to successfully raise children; we simply need God’s guidance. Regardless of how we became parents, God has graced us for this role. Many moms find themselves seeking God’s input and feedback and asking Him, “Lord, am I doing this right?” Instead of comparing ourselves to other mothers, we must use God’s Word of grace to navigate parenthood. Whenever we get anxious about our parenting techniques or daily situations, we must remember that regardless of how much we love our children, He loves them more; we can therefore entrust them to Him with no worries. When we consistently show up for our children every day and present the best version of ourselves, God will take care of the rest.
