As moms, it can feel like we’re on duty from the moment our eyes open until bedtime—and sometimes even in the middle of the night. The chaos of motherhood, business, housework, and everything in between can leave us feeling like there’s no room to breathe. But here’s the truth: rest is not a luxury, it’s a command and a gift from God.
In this episode of Mom is Ministry, Mercedes shares why honoring the Sabbath and creating rhythms of rest is an act of obedience and trust in God. She opens up about her own struggles with feeling like she’s “lacking,” and how she’s learning to take things one day at a time, remembering that with Christ, she lacks nothing.
You’ll hear practical ways to build rest into your daily life, encouragement to see motherhood itself as ministry, and a heartfelt prayer over you and your children.
✨ Key Takeaways:
- Why the Sabbath is both a command and a gift.
- How rest is an act of worship, not weakness.
- Practical ways to create space for rest in motherhood.
- Why being “a mom IS ministry” in every moment of the day.
