Happy Mother's Day!
As moms, finding "me time" can feel self-indulgent. But making alone time with God a priority is never selfish. You truly need it! As busy as Jesus was during his years of ministry, he still "often withdrew to the wilderness for prayer" (Luke 5:16). Sometimes it was before daybreak (Mark 1:35). Other times it was in the evening (Matthew 14:23). Sometimes it was an overnight stay on a mountain (Luke 6:12)! Does that seem like a pipe dream to you? Maybe it does, and for this season, that's okay. But maybe you sense a new season unfolding. So examine what's filling your time, prioritize what's essential, and prune back what's nonessential. Make room for the relationahip that matters most. You will thrive best when your alone time with the Lord is essential. He wants to spend time with you and waits for you in loving anticipation. When you purposefully make time and space for him, God promises to show up.
God is with you always!
