Overview

You're doing everything right - and still feel spiritually exhausted. Between the diapers, dishes, sleepless nights, and endless emotional labor, motherhood can start to feel less like ""holy calling"" and more like a quiet kind of survival. Somewhere along the way, your connection with God can feel distant - almost unreachable. But what if motherhood isn't pulling you away from God what if it's revealing Him? Held Like a Mother is a deeply comforting Christian devotional that invites you to encounter God not only as Father, but as the One who also nurtures, carries, comforts, and sustains - like a mother would. Through the sacred rhythms of everyday parenting, you are gently guided back to a God who meets you in the mess, not beyond it. Rediscover God in the middle of real motherhood In this beautifully written devotional, Jeremy Richards weaves together Scripture, lived experience, and contemplative reflection to show how the Bible reveals maternal imagery of God often overlooked, yet profoundly healing. Each chapter helps you slow down and breathe again through: Relatable stories from real life with babies and young children Biblical insights that reveal God's maternal nature in fresh, unexpected ways Gentle reflection prompts that restore your spiritual awareness Breath prayers designed for exhausted, overstimulated moments For the mom who feels spiritually depleted Whether you are a new mother trying to find your footing or an experienced mom carrying years of invisible labor, this book meets you exactly where you are. It is especially for you if you have ever felt: Spiritually dry in the middle of caregiving demands Disconnected from prayer or personal devotion time Overwhelmed by the emotional weight of motherhood Unsure how faith fits into your daily routine anymore This is not another book telling you to try harder.

And in doing so, He is inviting you to see motherhood not as spiritual distance but as holy ground.
