Today, as we read Psalm 28, 55, and 2 Samuel 19-20, there are moments of betrayal, victory, rebuke, restoration, clarity. It's complicated, Probably just like your life right now. But when we read the Psalms of David, I should impressed by the intimacy and the confidence he has to come before the Lord in all circumstances. He has been forced to recognize God as his protector, provider, sustainer, help, salvation, and joy. And I believe it was stewarded in times of loneliness and trial. It's a reminder for us as moms to try to not protect our kids from the difficult times they might encounter on this Earth. Many of us can see that pattern in our own lives. And if you're a mom whose kids are encountering health struggles or friendship trials or academic challenges, and you wish you could spare them, I pray today that you could treasure the closeness David has with his Lord, realize it was hard fought for, and be patient in the lives of your kids and in your own life because you know it's worth it.

Today's Scripture: 2 Samuel 19-20, Psalm 28 and 55

Cross References: Isaiah 40:11 and John 10:11
