During those tough times on your foster or adoptive journey, turning to the comforting and empowering words of Scripture can provide strength, encouragement, and renewed hope. In this blog post, we’ll explore 10 Scripture verses specifically chosen to uplift foster and adoptive moms on hard days. May these verses remind you of God’s presence, love, and provision as you navigate the ups and downs of this incredible journey.

Isaiah 41:10 (NIV):

“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”

God will provide strength, help, and support in their journey, holding you with His righteous right hand.

Psalm 46:1 (NIV):

“God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.”

You can lean on Him as your ultimate source of support.

Psalm 27:14 (NIV):

“Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD.”

Trust in His timing and His plan.

Philippians 4:13 (NIV):

“I can do all this through him who gives me strength.”

God’s power is at work in your life, equipping you to overcome challenges and fulfill your calling as a mama.

Psalm 34:17 (NIV):

“The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles.”

God will deliver you from your troubles, providing encouragement and reassurance during difficult moments.

“Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.”

You don’t have to carry your burdens alone; you can find comfort and peace in surrendering your worries to Him.

Lamentations 3:22-23 (NIV):

“Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.”

God’s presence and provision are constant.

Matthew 11:28 (NIV):

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”

You don’t have to carry the weight of your responsibilities alone; you can find solace and rejuvenation in His loving presence.

Romans 8:28 (NIV):

“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.”

God can bring beauty and redemption from difficult situations.

Psalm 139:13-14 (NIV):

“For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.”

Embrace your unique qualities and the incredible work you are doing as a mama.
