Hope in the Midst of Chaos: Devotions for Teen MothersSample

Day 3: The Power of Community

Scripture: Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 (NIV) - “Two are better than one because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up.”

Motherhood can sometimes feel isolating, especially as a young mom facing societal judgment or personal struggles. It’s crucial to surround yourself with supportive people who uplift you spiritually and emotionally.

Consider Naomi and Ruth’s relationship in the Book of Ruth. After losing her husband and sons, Naomi felt bitter and alone but found strength through Ruth’s loyalty and love. Together they navigated their hardships, leading to restoration and blessing in their lives.

Reflection: Reach out today to someone who encourages you—whether it’s a friend, family member, or mentor—and share your journey with them. Building connections can provide strength during difficult times.
