God gave me a picture in my mind before I had children of me sitting on the floor in a room with piles of laundry, toys strewn everywhere, and everything out of order. That picture is very much like what my house looks like now every day by 4 pm with three children!
God gave me that picture with a gentle, loving whisper from Him. The One who created everything from nothing in a very strategic, ordered process whispered to my spirit, “Daughter, you never have to live in chaos.”
Our God is not a God of chaos. His love transforms everything dark, formless, void, or uncontrolled under His sovereignty. He gave us His Spirit to do the same! 1 John 4:4 says, “…He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.” We have the power of God to bring peace wherever we go!
Dear friend, your circumstances matter to God, and He knows the places of your heart and life that feel out of control. Let’s remember and pray today that the God of peace endured the greatest chaos so we could receive His eternal peace.
Pray this prayer today, “Lord, I give my circumstances to You and ask for Your peace. Help me to be a peace-bringer everywhere I go today. Amen.”
I am praying for you today, mama.
Love,
Kacy Ladd and the Help Club for Moms Team
Five years into single parenting in the African bush, a Tennessee man also entered the mission field. We met and decided to stay in South Africa and get married.
We are now living in Cape Town, South Africa building up the local church with our teenager and toddler boys.
Help Club for Moms became a lifeline to me when I was lonely on the mission field with a new baby in a foreign country. I am so thankful to write for this community and to document God’s work in my own family at http://www.ladd.family
