As a busy mom, it’s easy to believe the lies that keep us stuck—lies that whisper we’re too busy, too tired, or too far gone to take care of ourselves. But the truth? God wants us to honor Him with our health so we can serve Him and our families with strength and joy.
Here are three common lies moms tell themselves—and the biblical truths to replace them.
1. The Lie: “I don’t have time to focus on myself.”
The Truth: “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.” – Ecclesiastes 3:1
You don’t need hours to start prioritizing your health. It starts with small, intentional steps that fit into your day. Try a 5-minute prayer walk or stretch while dinner cooks.
2. The Lie: “It’s selfish to care about my health.”
The Truth: “Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit?” – 1 Corinthians 6:19
Taking care of your health isn’t selfish—it’s stewardship. When you’re stronger and healthier, you can serve your family and glorify God more fully.
3. The Lie: “I’ll start next week/month/season.”
The Truth: “This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.” – Psalm 118:24
There’s no perfect time to begin, but today is a gift. Start with one small change—drink more water, take a deep breath, or write down one thing you’re grateful for.
Practical Steps for Busy Moms
1. Drink a glass of water before every meal.
2. Do a quick 5-minute workout or stretch session.
3. Pick one verse of scripture and meditate on it while folding laundry.
Remember, God doesn’t ask for perfection—He asks for faith and obedience.
