Cover and Care

We are often taught to be strong, capable, and self-sufficient. But God does not call you to carry everything alone. He is not frustrated by your need, He is drawn to it.

Like a mother who responds to her child, He moves toward what aches.

Your need is not a weakness to hide. It is a place God will meet you with care.


As a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you; and you will be comforted over Jerusalem. – Isaiah 66:13Isaiah 66:13


Father, remove the shame around my need.
Help me receive Your care fully.
Amen.


Ask God for help in one specific area today.

If it feels uncomfortable, that’s okay. Start small. Be honest.


If this met you right where you are, you don’t have to walk through it alone.
