What happens when time with God in motherhood no longer looks the way it used to? In this episode, Katie shares why prayer, scripture, and closeness with Jesus still matter deeply, even when this season looks different and time with the Lord is more woven into ordinary life. HerHomeandHeart.com
Do you ever feel like your time with God does not look the way it used to before motherhood?
In this episode, I’m talking about the quiet guilt many Christian moms carry when prayer, Bible reading, and closeness with Jesus feel more interrupted, more woven into daily life, and less like the long quiet stretches they once imagined. I’m sharing a devotional reading from Jesus Calling that brought me a lot of peace in this season, and I want to help you see that scripture still matters deeply, prayer still matters deeply, and your walk with God still matters deeply, even when this season looks different than the one before it.
I’m talking about prayer while washing dishes, worship in the car, scripture carried through the day, and letting our children hear real faith in real life. This is not about lowering the importance of time with the Lord. It is about letting go of false guilt and learning to walk closely with Jesus in the life you are actually living right now.
Scripture referenced: 1 Thessalonians 5:17, Proverbs 3:6, Deuteronomy 6
