Last night we watched the movie Breakthrough. As a helicopter mom myself 😳, I held my breath quite a bit through the movie. I am some what like Joyce, the mom, and want to control what my children do, help them make good choices, keep them from getting hurt, keep them from getting heartbroken, help the consequences to their choices not be too devastating. Some days I can’t breathe. Do y’all ever feel that way?

As I read my devotions during this Holy Week, I reflect about how God might be feeling knowing what will come later this week… the pain, the agony, the heartache of his child… Oh, take a deep breath! There are many emotions that are felt this week… happiness, shock, sadness, hope are a few I feel each year during this time as well as through this journey of life.

I am grateful because God sent His Son for us, our mercies are new every morning; therefore, there is hope that my children will ask Jesus to walk with them, they will talk with God when making decisions and allow the Holy Spirit to feel them for comfort during wonderful or devastating times.

What’s does this scripture mean to you?

“They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness! I say: The LORD is my portion, therefore I will put my hope in Him”. -Lamentations 3: 23-24
