Today we are diving deeper into Isaiah 61, talking about the struggles I hear from caregiver moms more than anything else;

Overwhelm and constantly exhaustion:

•Guilt and self-neglect: crown of beauty for ashes.

•Isolation and feeling unsupported.

We will look at these struggles and what God's promises says about them concerning our lives. Here is how we can choose to exchange God promises to overcome our everyday struggles.

A crown of beauty for ashes when we feel guilty and need to release heavy burdens off our shoulders.

The oil of joy for mourning and hard seasons.

A garment of praise is exchanged for the spirit of heaviness.

Each section has 3–4 actionable steps. The week's challenge is the 3-3-3 Restoration Rhythm:

The garment of praise in the morning - name one thing you're grateful for and say your prayers and take deep breaths.

Joy at midday - pause wherever you are, breathe, have a quiet moment and give thanks for where you are.

The crown in the evening, name one specific thing you did right and release what you could not do. Hand it back to God and ask for help.

•"Verse 3 says "instead of ashes," not "instead of mourning griefs." The oil of joy is what replaces mourning.

•Isaiah 40 v 31 says they that wait on the lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.

Action steps this week; make one specific ask for help and embrace the support from family and friends ready to assist you on this journey. Rhythms are built by returning to them, not by perfection.
