Nurture them in Your perfect Love

Father, today I want to talk to You about nurturing. As moms this is one of the things we do and yet, we understand so little of what it means. You see, Father, we as mom’s mother by example. We see other moms how they take care of their kids, how they dress – themselves and their kids – how they eat, how they cook, how they manage and organize their schedules – and we mould ourselves accordingly. There is this fear in our hearts that we won’t succeed. There is this deep-seated belief that we are inadequate nurturers; that others are better at mothering than we are.

But, Father, here is the problem. These examples have been infiltrated by the world and the media and are often laced with so much defilement, judgement and pain. We look in the mirror of the world of ‘the perfect mom’ and always find ourselves lacking. Father, our examples got warped along the way of time.

There is this thing we do, Father, this thing that drives us…, this thing taking up our emotional energy and guiding our decisions – and that is this thing – hating our bodies and the changes it has gone through because of childbirth. We as moms are in a huge identity and legitimacy crises! We spend so much time, money and emotional energy on these ‘so called imperfections’ with the result always being…. believing ourselves to be lacking! Father we have lost the joy of mothering!

Father, I bring this today before Your throne, because we as moms are trapped in this stronghold! It is a spiritual law, Father, as a man thinks he is. We are trapped in this generational carousal of comparison- this belief train of thinking- not being good enough, not being thin enough, not being mom enough! Father please help us! Stop us in our tracks! Switch of the cycle of our thoughts and show us the way out. We need You to bring healing to our mothering!

Father, there are parts of us being moms that are so unhappy and unsatisfied and unfulfilled. This was not Your picture, Your plan for us. And Father, we have downloaded this to our daughters! Mothering has become a chore and burden!

Father, today I surrender my defiled belief system before You, all the programming I have received as a mom and nurturer. Everything I have been packed with guiding me to bring up, guide, feed and educate my kids as others do. Father, please unhook my senses from all defiled libraries and identities. Please restore, my identity into that which You have dreamed for me as a mom. Please break the mould I have shaped and fixed myself into. Father, please restore my individuality as a mom. Make me the mom I was intended to be, the one You dreamed up and wired for my children. I repent Father!

Father, please cleanse the defilement generationally from the title and deeds of Mother. Break the demonic strongholds of pain, judgement, self-hate and inadequacy from us. Heal our wounds, rewire our father thoughts. I am enrolling into Your school, Your opinion, Your guide book of mothering today! Shape me, please Abba. I pray this in the name of Yeshua and through His blood! Amen
