I don’t know if there is anything more humbling than motherhood. As soon as you start to feel like you have it under control, your kids serve you up a nice piece of humble pie. If you want to feel good about yourself, keep reading.
Tonight, I was patting myself on the back for being a super star mom. Pick kids up from day care with zero tantrums, check! Feed snack, check! Load kiddos back in the car and run errands to Hobby Lobby, Aldi and pick up dinner from McDonalds, check, check, check! I bring the boys back inside; we wash our hands and in the 10 seconds I step outside to bring in some groceries I return to a hysterical boy staring at the dog eating his hamburger next to a toddler dumping out happy meal boxes. No problem, I’ll just shove a screaming toddler into his car seat, drive back to McDonalds to replace said hamburger all while stress-eating an entire large fry by myself.
I don’t even know what to say most days other than, “I’m so tired.” My coworker offers comfort and reminds me that these are the hardest years. Still, I need to survive, so, I thought tonight I thought Id spend some time looking up “prayers for tired moms.”
If I stroke a chord with you, feel free to pray the following:
Heavenly Father, I come to you today, humble and exhausted, and ask that you carry my burdens. I pray that you lift my weary spirit and fill me with your love and peace so that I may be restored and renewed in body and mind. Lord, pour your heavenly nourishment into my soul and give me the energy to sustain myself in my role as a mother.
