Day 38Strength for Mothers

Children Taught by God

And all thy children shall be taught of the LORD; and great shall be the peace of thy children.

Isaiah 54:13

This promise is rest for the soul of any mother. You don't have to be your children's only teacher. God Himself takes it upon Himself to teach them. That doesn't mean you step back — it means you are not alone. You plant, you pray, you care for them. But it is the Holy Spirit Himself who works in their hearts. That lifts off you the impossible weight of being perfect, of never getting it wrong, of never failing to teach something. You are the mother, not the savior. God is the keeper of those souls you love so dearly. Entrust them to Him with real trust, not empty words. Pray over them. Declare this promise over their lives. Children taught by God — what peace you feel just imagining it.

Prayer

Lord, You promised to teach my children. I trust in that promise today. Work in their hearts where my eyes cannot reach, where my words cannot go. May great peace be their inheritance. Amen.
