Oh, my. You captured my heartache as a mom in your words. Thank you for so beautifully painting the picture of what it feels like to love so completely and to grieve so deeply for the ones God gives us. The hardest part of being a mom for me has been trusting God as our now adult children live apart from His goodness, grace & mercy. And to not get lost in that, but to daily choose for myself to walk toward Him in total dependence and humility. It’s the only way thru! Thanks again for putting words to it all.
That's exactly it - loving completely and grieving deeply, and trusting God in all of it. Don't get lost, Diane. Keep pulling closer to Him. I'm doing the same! Thanks for sharing here today.
Oh sister, this took my breath away. So poignant and powerful. Right there with you. His faithfulness is the beacon through every dark night and every triple-digit summer day. Grateful for your words. This better be in the book!
Thank you for sharing, friend. I know you've experienced His faithfulness in the darkness as well. It's nothing short of amazing. The book is in the works - kicking my butt, as I expected!
You've spotlit an earthquake of hope in that Psalm for me, Michelle. Thank you. I'll never read it the same old way again, thank to your powerful, beautiful, life-giving post. Hearing the present tense as you pray verse 8, I'm praying it for you and yours right now. With you.
Thank you, Keren. I appreciate this so much as I know you understand the trust journey. I’m learning new things about God, His faithfulness, and His daily mercies. For that, I am grateful.
YES! So many mamas share the heartache of your story. Now, as a grandmother, I have walked it again with my daughter’s children. Thank you for sharing hope.
This is beautiful. Ive prayed both these prayers in one way or another and every single time He Is Faithful!
Yes! Thank you for sharing, Sarah!
Beautiful, honest, and hope-filled writing. I’m really moved by this. Thanks for your vulnerability in sharing.
Emily, I really appreciate your encouragement. Thank you for reading.
I am depleted and refilled by your words and your hope! Love and prayers! 🥰🙏
Wow, what a way to put that! Thankful to be a part of your refilling. Thank you for your prayers, friend.

Michelle, these words are bringing hope to weary-parent souls and I thank you for sharing your three word prayer here for us to adopt!

I'm grateful you saw and felt the hope, Cheryl. Verse 8 is a breath prayer of trembling...and peace. Thank you for praying with me.
“Lord, you are entirely faithful.” Love this, lovely post💕
Thank you so much, Sara. Keep those words close.
So well done, Michelle! This is poignant, gorgeous, and in the midst of hard makes room for hope. What a gift to read. Thank you ♥️
If I can’t point to hope, I figure I better keep my mouth shut. Our God is too good. Thank you for your sweet words, friend.
Beautiful, powerful writing, Michelle, and I am sorry for how exhausting and tough it all is and has been.

Thank you for sharing this, Dodie. There are many of us. I pray we depend on His faithfulness entirely.
Oh, thank for writing and sharing this! Was there; am here now in the third season of life. Praying the same prayer. -C.D.
You’re welcome, Carole. Thank you for sharing. Keep praying that prayer. I’ll do the same.
Yes, the simple poolside days in Richmond, VA! Sigh. Thank you for your kind words, Linda.
