What’s on Your Heart Today?
Where are you at today, Mom? Are you in the throes of raising babies, squeaking by on less sleep than you thought humanly possible? Are you trying to keep up with the ever-changing emotions and activities of a toddler? Helping a preschooler learn her alphabet? Or are you raising much older children; perhaps trying to decide whether your concern warrants a call to your child’s teacher, or whether the recent changes in your teenager’s behavior are the result of a transition he’s going through, or something much worse.
Friend, God cares about your concerns. He wants to know what’s on your heart today. Yes, He knows already; but just as we want our kids to come to us with that issue they’ve been having with a friend or sibling, He wants us to come to Him, pour out our hearts, and rest in the grace and comfort only He can provide.
Read these verses from Hebrews 4:14-16 (RSV)
Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we have a not a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
Are you in a time of need? Approach Him - run to Him! - with your heartache. He’s our “high priest” - our intercessor. The go-between. Not just between us and God; but between us and every trouble we face in this earthly life.
Raising kids isn’t just one of the most rewarding things you’ll ever do; it’s the most challenging. Invite Him in to that process. Ask Him directly for the wisdom you need, and He will give it to you (James 1:5). Go boldly and without hesitation, knowing that your Lord cares deeply about each and every aspect of your life.
