Thoughts and Promises for Single Mothers

By Sochel Thomas

My workday began like any other: nonstop calls, deadlines to be met, and constant demands. As I was drowning in all my paperwork, my cell phone rang; it was my son. I immediately thought to ignore the call, assuming it was something trivial, but instead, gave in and answered. Nothing in a million years could have prepared me for the things that would transpire in those short minutes. I could hear my oldest son's voice shaking and begging me to come home, all the while my daughter screaming and crying as my youngest son was also shouting words over them all. I was finally able to decipher what was going on. There was an accident in the house, and my daughter was on fire. A single mother, three children, no father, nonstop work, living paycheck to paycheck. Does it ever end? The devil is busy doing what he does best. His job is to keep us so bombarded with the pressures and stresses of everyday life that we make no time to consult God. "In the multitude of my anxieties within me, your comforts delight my soul" (Psalms 94:19, NKJV). When life hurls obstacles in your path, are you reflecting on the thoughts and promises that our Heavenly Father has given? The ubiquitous journey of a single mother is challenging, to say the least. Each story, though taken from my very own experiences, are ones that I know will resonate with many of you. Tales of heartbreak, accounts of trials, and lessons of persevering and trusting Him no matter what comes your way. Thoughts and Promises for Single Mothers is a compilation of relatable topics that single mothers face with recommendations and Bible promises of ways to have victory over any circumstance that you are faced with.
