What Makes My Kids Cry Today

Real Life. Real Laughs. Real Jesus.

Proverbs 3:5 Devotional

📖 “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.” — Proverbs 3:5 (KJV)

💭 Reflection

This morning didn’t go as planned.

The cereal spilled.

The socks went missing.

One kid melted down because their toast wasn’t “happy enough.”

And I melted a little, too.

I found myself asking:

“Am I already behind before the day has even started?”

But here’s the truth Proverbs 3:5 gently whispers:

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.”

You don’t have to figure it all out.

You don’t need perfect understanding, control, or timing.

You just need to trust.

God sees the mess. He sees the chaos. He sees your tired heart trying to hold it all together—and He says, “Lean on Me instead.”

🙏 Prayer

Lord,

Today didn’t start the way I wanted it to.

Help me release the pressure to understand or fix everything.

Let me trust You more than my schedule, my feelings, or the chaos in front of me.

Be my peace, even when the morning’s gone sideways.

Amen.

💛 Mama Reminder:

You’re not failing.

You’re just living real life with real people—and a very real God who’s not surprised by your mess.

When nothing makes sense?

Trust Him anyway.
