For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for a lifetime; Weeping may last for the night, But a shout of joy comes in the morning."  Psalm 30:4-5 NASB I am convinced that sleep deprivation from the baby and toddler phase is the mom version of fasting. My flesh becomes so weakened and my reliance upon God becomes absolutely everything. I cannot help but rely on His grace to do pretty much anything. If start counting sleepless nights in the third trimester (from the uncomfortableness and countless trips of waddling to the bathroom) I literally haven't slept through the night in almost two years. This isn't hyperbole. My 17-month-old has NEVER slept through the night. My middle son took 25 months to do so- he got the hang of sleep only six months before my youngest was born. It's been an extremely physically and mentally (and often emotionally) trying season that has lasted years.   I don't share all of this to complain or receive sympathy or ask for advice. I share to remind you (and myself) that the Lord is near to the weak. In your suffering, He brings unspeakable joy that is not dependent upon your circumstances. No matter how overwhelming your circumstances may feel, His grace is sufficient in your weakness. Lean upon Him, and He will strengthen you and transform you to look more like Him.   When I was praying in the midnight hours during the on and off wakings, I said "God, I know he is a gift… please help me." And as I reflect upon this trying season, I'm realizing the ways my son is a gift from the Father, along with all my children, of course. I cannot help but praise God amid my pain, for the Lord has been faithful to me. Even though my circumstances have not changed, He is changing me. I am encouraged by these verses in Psalm 30 to give thanks and remember that joy always comes in the morning: Read More TRENDING STORIES Must Read  10 Movies to Watch This Easter Must Watch 2 Adorable Toddlers Sing He Arose POPULAR NOW Send this eCard Send this eCard Send this eCard Send this eCard Send this eCard Send this eCard
