Welcome back to the kitchen table. This week Bethany’s friend Brittany joins her as they talk about the need to control all that is going on. Another lie that mothers are often faced with, whether it is rooted in fear or the drive to be perfect, most mothers are often struggling with the desire to control it all.
Bethany shares her own experiences on how she has often wrestled and struggled with the mindset of wanting to control all the different aspects of motherhood. Control is an insidious lie, because it declares that we can and should handle things ourselves. But instead we can begin to walk in what God has planned for each and everyone one of us.
We so easily compare ourselves to other moms and fear we aren’t measuring up to others. We fear that if we do not have it perfectly, we will fail. Ask yourself what is the Lord’s standard for me? Declaring your praise to God will help you begin to combat the fear and grow towards feeling confident in who you are as a mother and a person. God is with you, and he will help you, strengthen you, and give you a hand as you walk through the days of motherhood.
Brittany shares her story of how God took her through a season of loss to find his perfect peace. Her testimony encourages listeners to believe truly how good God is.
