And by submitting myself to the role, I've learned a ton about how God, as my parent who loves me, desires obedience, and yet allows me to grow through every stumble and fall."As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him..."Psalm 103:13©Ericka Clay 2025.

Thanks for listening! :) Subscribe & get free books: https://erickaclay.comEver feel like you're following people more than God? Scripturally, that's a problem. Listen in on how vital it is to allow the Holy Spirit to guide us, not manmade rules. “Don’t let people do that to you, put you on a pedestal like that. You all have a single Teacher, and you are all classmates. Don’t set people up as experts over your life, letting them tell you what to do. Save that authority for God; let him tell you what to do. No one else should carry the title of ‘Father’; you have only one Father, and he’s in heaven. And don’t let people maneuver you into taking charge of them. There is only one Life-Leader for you and them—Christ." Matthew 23:1-8 (MSG)©Ericka Clay 2025. All Rights Reserved.

We deal with it all: mom guilt, neurodivergence, and being blamed for the reason our kids can be hard to handle. What if the struggle wasn't a punishment but an opportunity to be changed deeply on a heart level? What if we realized our kids are truly God's and we're merely His co-pilots in this thing called motherhood? What if we could truly give over our worries and woes and live freely as the mother God chose for our children?Also Mentioned: https://un-perfect.net/fsearching-for..."Searching for Peace In A Season of Loss?

Sometimes, God doesn't grant the desires of our hearts. So what does that say about Him and how we view Him?

In today's thought, I share why God might say no to us, what obedience has to do with anything, and why we should always persevere (AKA the "naked and afraid" mindset).

"If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you." John 15:7
