Embrace God's Ever-Present Help in Parenting | Psalm 139:7-10

The Lord goes wherever you go. Isn't that a comforting thought? You cannot escape His presence, and even in the darkest seasons, He is still with you. In His presence, you find wisdom, peace, and guidance. He holds you fast, sustains you, and His unwavering strength upholds you. This truth should fill you with an unshakeable sense of peace, hope, and comfort. It should transform how you live and how you face difficult moments. He is always near, He can always hear you, and He is always there to help you. All you need to do is lean into His presence.

Psalm 139:7-10 speaks to the inescapable presence of God. The psalmist says, "Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast." No matter where we are or what circumstances we find ourselves in, God is always with us. This truth is incredibly reassuring, especially for parents who often face overwhelming challenges and moments of solitude.

As parents, there are times we may feel isolated or inadequate. We might wonder if anyone understands the weight of our responsibilities. In these moments, remembering that God’s presence surrounds us can bring immense comfort. Whether we are in the highest of joys or the depths of despair, God is there, guiding and holding us with His right hand.

This passage reminds us that there is no place too far, too dark, or too difficult for God to reach us. His presence is constant, and His guidance is unfailing. This assurance allows us to navigate the highs and lows of parenting with confidence, knowing we are never alone.

Take a moment to soak that in. Feel His presence surrounding you, enveloping you with His peace and love. Let this truth settle into your heart: You are never alone.
