10 Life-Giving Mom Affirmations (When You Feel Like a Failure)

May 6, 2019 By Lisa Mullen Leave a Comment

Being a mom is tough work, and I don’t know a single mom who doesn’t have moments of feeling like a failure. Some of us spend too many moments feeling this way, in fact.

But those thoughts are nothing more than Satan trying to discourage us, deplete us, and disarm us.

He loves when we beat ourselves up because the more we do, the less we tap into the power of the One who works through us.

The more our eyes are on our own imperfections and inadequacies, the less they are on His perfection and ability.

How do we reverse this cycle of discouragement? By replacing those thoughts of failure with life-giving affirmations.

Here are 10 affirmations that will lift your spirits, restore your confidence, and remind you that with God’s help, you can be the mom you were called to be.
