We all have those days when we feel like we’re not good enough. We’re struggling to keep our head above water, and every step feels like an uphill battle.
Sometimes on those days, it’s hard to pray because we don’t feel strong enough to speak to God from a place of faith. But even in our weakest moments, we can still lift up prayers of thanksgiving and petition.
Whether you feel weak in your spirit, your mind, your heart, or your physical strength, here are 30 days of prayers for the mom feeling weak that you can use to encourage your own journey towards strength.
