Yearning for Consistency Amidst Chaos
My name is Aisha. As a new mom, I feel completely overwhelmed with the demands of motherhood. I used to read my Bible every day, but now it feels impossible to find a moment for myself, let alone for God. I feel so ashamed because I know how important it is to stay grounded in His Word, yet I often resort to hurried prayers as my only connection to God. I long to create a space for consistent Bible reading, but each day seems to slip through my fingers. Please pray that I can find the balance I need and that God will help me carve out time to be in His presence, renewing my love for scripture.
Pastor's Response
Pastor James Okafor

Dear Aisha, thank you for being so open about your struggles; it's not easy balancing motherhood and spiritual growth. Remember, God understands your heart and your chaos, and He’s here to help. In Romans 8:39, we are reminded that nothing can separate us from God’s love, even in the overwhelming moments of parenting. Consider starting small—perhaps by reading a short devotional or a few verses while you nurse or during nap time. James 1:5 tells us that if we lack wisdom, we should ask God, and He will provide it generously. Your desire to find time for the Lord is a beautiful prayer in itself. Let’s pray: Heavenly Father, I lift Aisha to You, asking for Your guidance and peace as she navigates motherhood. Help her to find consistent moments with You and fill her heart with Your Word. Amen.
