Silencing the Lies: A Mother’s Journey to Grace and Truth

 

To the Mom Wrestling with Mental Gymnastics

Dear Mama,

I know your mind feels like a battlefield some days. The constant replay of moments you wish you could redo. The endless questions—Am I doing enough? Am I being enough? Why does it feel so hard to hold it all together?

You juggle a thousand thoughts at once, trying to be everything for everyone, while your heart feels stretched thin. You replay the words you said, your choices, and the moments you wish you could rewind. And in the quiet, when the house is still, the mental gymnastics begin again—flipping, twisting, turning over every detail.

But here's the truth, Mama: You are not alone in this struggle.

You are human. You are imperfect. And you are still enough.

Your children don't need a mother who has it all figured out, who never stumbles or doubts herself. They need you—the mother who shows up, loves fiercely, and keeps trying even when her mind feels heavy.

You are teaching them something powerful, even in your wrestling.

You are teaching them that it's okay to struggle.
You are teaching them that love doesn't require perfection.
You are teaching them that showing up, even when it's hard, is what matters most.

So, Mama, take a deep breath when your mind runs in circles.

Let go of the guilt that whispers you're not enough.
Let go of the pressure to be perfect.
Let go of the lie that says you must carry it alone.

And lean into grace. Lean into the truth that God sees, loves, and holds you, even in the chaos of your thoughts.

You are doing better than you think.
You are loved more than you know.
And you are enough, just as you are.

So today, give yourself permission to rest, to breathe, to let go of the mental gymnastics, and simply be present.

Because, Mama, your love is enough.

With grace and understanding,
Someone Who Sees You

To the Mom Fighting the Lies in Her Mind

Dear Mama,

I know the battle you fight—the one no one sees. The one that happens in the quiet moments, in the replayed conversations, in the endless thoughts that whisper you're not enough.

I know the way anxiety sneaks in—twisting everyday worries into unbearable weight. The way fear tells you that you will never be good enough. The way insecurities magnify every imperfection, convincing you that your shortcomings define you.

I know the voice inside—the one that lies and tells you that you should have been better, done more, been stronger. The voice that tells you that motherhood is slipping through your fingers, and you're failing the ones who need you most.

But Mama, that voice is a liar.

It is not the voice of truth.
It is not the voice of love.
It is not the voice of God who created you and called you worthy.

Because here is the truth:

✨ You are doing better than you think.
💙 You are more loved than you know.
🌿 You are not failing—you are fighting.

Your kids don't see the battle in your mind like you do. They know the mother who keeps showing up, loves them fiercely, and wraps them in arms that never leave.

They don't hear the voice that tells you you're not enough.

They hear your laughter.
They hear your encouragement.
They hear your prayers over them, as you whisper "I love you" when they drift to sleep.

They don't count your flaws. They count the hugs.
They don't replay your mistakes. They replay the moments you chose love.

So today, Mama, fight back.

📖 Speak truth over yourself—you are chosen, loved, and called for this season.
💙 Breathe deep—God's grace covers every shortcoming, hard day, and moment you wish to redo.
🌿 Let go of the lies—you are not failing. You are not too broken. You are not falling apart.

You are becoming.
You are growing.
You are seen.

And you are already enough.

So let today be the day you release the guilt. The anxiety. The fear. The weight that tells you you'll never be enough.

Because Mama? You already are.

And that truth will always be louder than the lies.

With love and grace,
Someone Who Sees You
