God sees the diapers you change, the encouragement you speak, the patience you give, the food you prepare, the lessons you teach, the adventures you plan, the little ones you hold.
No parenting expert can help you lead your children as well as the One who created your children. He may point you to others who have advice that will help you - but look to him first.
The most powerful and perfect and good person in the entire universe cares so much about you, that he gently leads you as you mother your children. Read that again.
Listen in to meditate on this truth and let it empower you.

Today's passage is Isaiah 40:10-11 (NIV).
See, the Sovereign Lord comes with power,
and he rules with a mighty arm.
See, his reward is with him,
and his recompense accompanies him.
He tends his flock like a shepherd:
He gathers the lambs in his arms;
and carries them close to his heart;
he gently leads those that have young.
Here's verse 11 in the Second 21 translation.
Pareil à un berger, il s’occupera de son troupeau,
il prendra les agneaux dans ses bras
et les portera contre sa poitrine;
il conduira les brebis qui allaitent.
