God First, Always: The Secret to a Mom’s Strength 👑💪
The toast was burning 🍞, one shoe was missing 👟, and my little one was still half-asleep 😴. I felt my patience slipping away — and my morning peace along with it. Just then, I whispered under my breath,
“Lord, please be my calm in this chaos.” 🙏
In that moment, I realized something powerful: when I start my day with God — not after the chores, not after the rush, but first — everything else somehow falls into place. 💖
As moms, we often feel like we’re juggling a hundred things at once — the home, the kids, the meals, the work, the emotions. But the truth is, when God takes priority, we gain a strength that no coffee cup ☕ or motivational quote can give.
1️⃣ God Deserves the First Place — Not the Leftovers
We often give God what’s left of our time, energy, and focus — not what’s best. But God lovingly says, “Come to Me first.”
“But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”
- Matthew 6:33
When you start your morning by inviting God into your day — through prayer, a verse, or even a simple “Thank You, Lord” — you’re declaring, “You’re my priority.” 🌼
✨ Try this: Before checking your phone 📱 or making breakfast, whisper, “Good morning, Lord. Lead me today.” You’ll feel His peace flood your heart. 💫
2️⃣ Putting God First Builds Unshakeable Strength
Motherhood can be exhausting. Some days, our patience runs out faster than the battery on our phone. 😩
But here’s the secret — when your roots go deep in prayer, you won’t easily fall when storms come.
“But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles.”
- Isaiah 40:31
When your strength feels gone, whisper His name. He will carry you. 🕊️
3️⃣ Prioritizing God Changes the Atmosphere of Your Home
Have you noticed how your mood sets the tone of your home? 🏡
When we start with God, peace flows naturally — even when the kids spill milk or the day doesn’t go as planned.
“I keep my eyes always on the Lord. With Him at my right hand, I will not be shaken.”
- Psalm 16:8
God’s presence in your morning turns ordinary moments into sacred ones. 🌸
4️⃣ When You Put God First, He Takes Care of the Rest
Sometimes we feel that spending time with God will slow us down. But here’s the miracle — when you give Him your first moments, He multiplies your time and peace.
“In all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.”
- Proverbs 3:6
Put God first, and He’ll take care of your “to-do” list better than you can. ✨
A Short Prayer for you:
Dear Lord,
Thank You for being my constant strength and peace.
Today, I choose to put You first — before my worries, before my plans, before everything else.
Help me to walk in Your wisdom, love, and grace.
Amen.
