So many mothers feel inadequate. Not every day, and not all the time,
but somewhere in the back of their minds this kind of doubt lives. I
don’t know what to do, I’m not doing a good enough job, I’m not a good
mom (or as good of a mother as I think I should be). On really bad days
or in some of the really hard seasons of life, these doubts seem almost
inescapably real. This experience isn’t unique just to mothers. Many
people feel doubt and insecurity about the roles they have in life.
Most of the time, these are well-intending people who want to do a good
job at the jobs God has given them. How do we address a situation like
this without having to be arrogant and filled with pride? We’ll look at
an example of someone who didn’t think they were ready to do what God
asked, and how God responded to their doubts and fears.
