Life has a tendency to get stressful and overwhelming. Running kids around, planning meals, helping with schoolwork… As women, we face our own set of stresses. Are you going through a season like this? Do you feel as though life is crushing in and you can't catch up? Do you worry about how you will get it all done? Find comfort in the following: you are not alone. And there is hope.

It is not uncommon for a mother, particularly, to feel overwhelmed by
the complexity of her parental assignment. For each child she raises,
she is the primary protector of his health, education, intellect,
personality, character, and emotional stability. She must serve as
physician, nurse, psychologist, teacher, minister, cook, and policeman.
Since she is with the children longer each day than her husband, she is
the chief disciplinarian and main giver of security and love. She will
not know whether or not she is handling these matters properly until it
is too late to change her methodology. Furthermore, Mom’s
responsibilities extend far beyond her children. She must also meet her
obligations to her husband, her church, her relatives, her friends, and
in some cases, her employer.

~Dr. James Dobson

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally,
brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right,
whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything
is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. (Philippians 4:6-8)
