15 Soul Soothing Bible Verses & Affirmations for Single Moms
|
The last six months have been very trying for me. I
suffered a miscarriage, my engagement ended and I
lost my job of eight years. Needless to say, I was
facing many challenges. After shedding some much
needed tears, I concentrated on changing my
thoughts. While I’ve never taken on the victim role, I
did ask the question: Why me? In some cases
questions were answered, but in others they were
not. In either case, I didn’t let my circumstances
define me, I moved on. Positive thinking is a way for
me to conquer any fears or challenges that I
encountered over the years. I became my personal
cheerleader.
I know first hand about being a single Mom. I am
currently raising my five-year-old son, Hamilton, by
myself sans any financial support from his father.
Hamilton is the light of my life, he is my heart.
Anyone who comes into contact with him is
immediately impressed by his huge personality. He
has such a bright future.
The landscape of today’s family has changed.
Respect for mothers have deteriorated to an
alarmingly low level, as a result, many men are not
taking responsibility for their children. Women have
been minimized to Baby Mommas. Don’t let yourself
be mislabeled, you are the mother of his child, NOT
his baby momma.
There are so many opportunities for comfort, some
women rely on the Bible for it or some find
encouragement via other means. I would like to
provide some Bible verses and some real life words
of wisdom that I created.
No matter how you became a single mom, whether
through divorce, a planned or unexpected
pregnancy, we are all in the same boat, we are single
moms. While there are only a total of thirty verses
and affirmations, I hope that they provide a powerful
impact and some comfort to you.
