Opening Reflection
As single parents, life can be overwhelming. Between managing work, taking care of your children, and juggling responsibilities, it's easy to feel like you're drowning in a sea of chaos. But in the midst of the storm, God whispers words of calm and peace.
Scripture Focus
"Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!" (Psalm 46:10)
Main Message
In a world that's always on the go, it's easy to forget to breathe. To stop, to pause, and to trust. But God's words in Psalm 46:10 remind us that we don't have to be in control. We don't have to worry about tomorrow or yesterday. We can simply be still, and know that God is God.
