During our Bible lesson this morning a featured verse was Colossians 1:9-11, and it was just what my mama heart needed. Verse 11 was especially timely and relevant to our struggle. So thankful for these small encouragements that pop up just when we need them most. 

"For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you. We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives, so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience"
