Even a glimmer of light becomes a safety rope that can pull you from the dark abyss of depression. My heart feels like it breaks into a million tiny pieces, cracking wide open when I think about what I went through during the heaviest days of postpartum depression and for all of the other Mamas out there who have grappled with this level of internal pain. I used to wonder why I still get so emotional when I reflect on what those days were like. But I realized that time was etched into my soul, not as punishment but for a purpose. So that I could still see and feel what other Mamas are still in the thick of. What a gift and an honor. I’m thankful God trusted me with this assignment.
I knew I wanted to do something to serve others so that one of the darkest times of my life was not in vein. God opened up the opportunity for me to write a Bible based devotional for navigating the rugged and unknown journey of postpartum depression.
If you are a Christ follower, who is wondering where the heck God is during your battle with postpartum depression, then I would encourage you to read this free devotional on the YouVersion Bible App. Here’s the Link! https://www.bible.com/reading-plans/38278
If you read it, and are willing, please let me know what you think. You are not alone, Mama. I promise.
Thank you for this. I have found it helpful and gives me hope during my postpartum depression journey
As a first time mom with a now 2 month old, I just finished this devotional today and I wish it didn’t end! I loved each one you were so relatable and each day seemed to be exactly what I needed to hear in the moments I spent reading it. As a young mom finding her way back to Christ this was really easy to follow and understand. Thank you so much for sharing this and I can’t wait to keep up with your future work!
Your devotion is a Blessing to me I keep going back to day 1 so that I can continue reading and applying the knowledge please pray for me. I recently went through postpartum depression with my last child he is one and I am currently expecting again this year and this pregnancy has been hard on me. Again I ask for prayer and encouragement. God Bless you.
