Feeling like a Failure as a Mom

Learning to Forgive yourself

Are you feeling like a failure with your family? You poured more energy into being a good wife to your husband and child(ren), but you came up short? Did you feel like you were letting God down? Were your most potent thoughts on Mother’s Day centered on your weakness?

Are you sick and tired of believing the lies of the enemy? The enemy wants to create strongholds in your mind. All He has to do is push a button, and down you go, thinking in a way that does not exalt the Lord.

The enemy is a liar. He comes to steal your peace and hope and make you believe you are not doing an excellent job in something you are doing. Do you want to learn how to fight the good fight of faith and win and regain your peace and hope, no longer depressed but happy again?

If you believe you could never be good enough, smart enough, or successful enough, you are stuck, unable to reach the full capacity that the Lord has for you. You have a purpose that the enemy of lies and accusations uses against you. It sounds like your voice.

Do you believe you have to prove you are worthy? God tells us that we don't need to be enough. Jesus was enough for us.

To the team part.

The lies we believe and base our lives upon are strongholds holding us hostage. Paul said, "The weapons we fight with are to demolish strongholds (2 Cor. 10:4). So, we need to demolish lies that harm us.

Strongholds mean "to fortify." Like a fortified city with reinforced walls.

Paul compares the lies to fortresses of the mind, like walls of strongholds. The lies have been repeatedly reinforced to become stronger the more you replay them. Unfortunately, we believed them for so long that they became part of our thinking DNA. You've joined the enemy that has lied to you. Get mad and fight with God's word. Did you know when we quote the Word of God, it burns the enemy?

It is hard work to break down the strongholds. The enemy will not let go of the fortified wall around you. You have to keep pushing until you get on the other side.

Didn't Paul teach us the concept: "I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God's power for us who believe him. This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead." Eph 1:19-20. That means you can tap into the Lord's power because it is available.

The same massive power that raised Jesus from the dead is offered to you to change your mind, transform your thoughts, and win the war.

Remember, you have an astonishing power to help you.

You need to identify the mistruth that keeps you from taking a step of faith. That means identifying the lie opposite of God's truth.

What is the wrong thought pattern that robs you of living a life of freedom and joy? What negative impact does it have on you? Feeling rejection, fear, anxiety, etc.

Do you see how you have become a prisoner of deception, locked up by a lie you believe is actual because someone either made you feel or said something you thought?

Then, the enemy got you to beat yourself up, living with anxiety, exhaustion, etc.

The bottom line is if you will change your life, you cannot just change your behavior or action. The stronghold must be replaced with the truth of who you really are. It is believing God's word over man. Relying on your own power is self-help, and self-help is without power.

You are loved
You are important to God
You are accepted by Him
He needs you
You are not a mistake
Your birth ordained
He has a purpose for you

Again, self-help does not work. So, we access the power God has that we need to remove the lies and replace them with the truth. So, ask him to show you the lie that you have believed. Tell him your mind to be filled with truth instead of the devil's falsehoods.
