More on The Busy Mom:

Feeling Anxious and Overwhelmed? – Encouragement for the anxious, worrying mom.  God’s Word doesn’t give us a formula, it leads us to a relationship. There are no 3 easy steps to getting through anxiety and depression in our lives, but He gives us the grace of Himself in us. Christ in me, the hope of glory!

Praying the Scriptures – “When the Lord took me through the valley of depression, starting 8 years ago or so, I never quite expected what the Lord would do through those difficult seasons. There were times, hopeless times, when I didn’t expect *anything* good to come from those hard times. And honestly, I can still get caught up in looking back and dwelling on the negative if…”

Grace for the Anxious Mama {Free Printable} – “The anxious mama. Yep, that has been me more times than I’d like to admit. Worrying over silly things, worrying over big things. I didn’t use to think of myself as a worrier, but I realize I was just calling it something else, I think. My “worries” were usually fears over my kids’ futures, fears that I had ruined them, fears that I was messing up. Worry. Fear. They both go hand in hand, don’t they?  When I’m feeling anxious, the very best thing for me to do is…”

Finding Peace in the Storm – “Life is hard. In recent months our family and our church family has dealt with a lot. Many of you are finding yourself in the same place. Overwhelmed. Grieving. Struggling. Tired.

I wanted to share with you something that has been on my heart in the midst of these trials. This comes from a place of deep trust in the Lord and in His ways. This comes from a place of faith in the midst of struggle.

I believe that peace is possible even in the most difficult of circumstances.”

New Morning Mercies by Paul David Tripp

The Word of God is powerful and as we speak it out loud and in prayer, we can help overcome negative feelings. Here is a devotional that is very biblically based and loaded with powerful passages of scripture!

No Other Name by Hillsong Worship

We talked about how powerful worship is…that God lives in the praises of His people.  Here is just one of many worship cds.

As Christian mothers, we have been given the task to teaching our children about God's standard—but looking around, it's clear that many Christians have lost their way under enormous pressure from the culture. We're exchanging the truth of God's Word for the easy "truth" of the world.

This generation of Christians in a full-blown spiritual crisis. God's Word, the Bible, says that the Lord grants wisdom. Not the culture, not judges, not the courts. Christians need to cry out for wisdom as we navigate the issues of our generation. The conversation about the redefinition of marriage that's happening in our churches, and most recently, the decision of the Presbyterian church to allow gay marriage should make followers of Jesus Christ tremble.

Join me as I talk about what God says about marriage. The culture may change, but God does not change. His standard is right—and as Christians, we need to know what God has to say about homosexuality—and then, be willing to take a stand for righteousness.

Have you been tempted to place your hope in a person? You're not alone—but Psalm 62 tells us that our hope should rest in God alone. Our hope as a nation will never be found in a president, in a curriculum, in a pastor or even a parent. Our hope should rest in God and in His Word. This view will not make you popular—but it will bring your peace. Take heart! God has overcome the world!

Christians are struggling to live set apart lives in this generation. God said that we are to differently than the world—image bearers of the King of Kings! Since we are called to be image bearers of the one who created us—He can have faith that He is able to transform our lives—and the lives of our children.

ISIS. Political unrest. A struggling economy. There's no question, we've got plenty of reasons to be afraid these days.

Did you know that fear is a spirit? Join Heidi as she shares candidly about her own struggle with fear and encourages you to allow God to use areas of weakness in your life to make you strong.
