Sometimes being a Mom can be super overwhelming.

There. I said it.

Of course, if you are a Mom, you are likely nodding your head in agreement with me.

There are too many things to do, so many needs to be met, and a dwindling supply of energy and inner peace.

Thankfully, God knows us better than we know ourselves.

God knows that we can get overwhelmed for so many different reasons:

Too many after school activities
Too many runny noses
That person who keeps microwaving fish for lunch at work

These 10 scriptures won’t cook dinner for you, but they will definitely help you keep your perspective straight, your mind set on things eternal. Because seriously, regardless of the chaos swirling in your life right now, it is so comforting to know that God is in control. God has got this and God will take care of you. Being reminded of the eternal perspective really helps me focus on the fact that this world is not my home.
