I sat down to write an encouraging article on being a mom in a broken world and I’ve got nothing.
Okay so that being said, I have mom brain. Is this a thing? I say it is but it can happen to any of us; man, woman or child! I associate brain fog (or mom brain) with a lack of sleep and sometimes even a lack of peace.
For me, it has been a lack of restful sleep due to pain this week. I don’t normally have a lot of nerve pain but I think when the weather changes, this is when it happens. Lack of sleep means my days are spent in semi lack of order as I battle fatigue.
But I can still rejoice and praise God. Why?
He Gives Life
I woke up this morning and I was breathing and able to get out of bed! (Job 33:4) “The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.”
He Gives Strength
I prayed myself out of bed this morning knowing that God would give me strength for even the smallest of tasks. (Isaiah 40:29) “He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.”
He Gives Hope
This world with all its troubles, pain and trials is not my final home. My life will be pain free someday! (Revelation 21:4) “And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.”
Aren’t these the best reasons for getting out of bed today? Can my heart go on singing even when my body is screaming? God is good and He is good all the time.
“I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.” (Psalm 27:13)
