Set the Table: A Soul Retreat

In the frenetic world of motherhood, it’s easy to lose sight of your own needs. As moms, you pour your heart and soul into caring for others, often neglecting your own spiritual needs. However, it is vital to carve out intentional moments of solitude for reflection, prayer, and communion with God. Setting the table for your soul could be just the retreat you need—a sacred space where you can dine with the Lord and find renewal in His presence.

Creating space for God is not merely about finding a quiet corner but about scheduling time in the chaos of life. When you prioritize moments spent with Jesus, you're saying yes to spiritual nourishment that fuels you for the challenges of motherhood. Your calling as a mother is a divine ministry, a beautiful vocation filled with immeasurable value, and it deserves your attention in both action and intention.

The Ministry Call of Motherhood

Motherhood is a dynamic, multifaceted calling filled with layers of responsibility, love, and growth. Each day, you serve as a teacher, nurturer, and even a confidante, making it imperative to ensure that your own spiritual health is cultivated and cherished.

It’s essential to remember that, in your unique role, you’re not just shaping the lives of your children but also reflecting the love and grace of God within your family.

When you create space for God, you become a stronger pillar in your family, navigating the highs and lows of life with grace. This time of spiritual engagement allows you to pour from a wellspring of love that overflows into your everyday interactions.

The Importance of Creating Space

In a world that constantly demands your attention, intentionally carving out time to spend with Jesus becomes a revolutionary act. Here are practical ways to nurture this sacred space in your life:

1. Designate a Special Spot: Choose a specific place in your home where you can retreat. This could be a corner of your bedroom, a cozy chair in the living room, or even a tranquil spot in your yard. Infuse that space with meaningful items like beautiful scriptures, art, or anything that prompts you to connect with God.

   
   

2. Establish a Routine: Consistency is key. Set aside time in your daily or weekly schedule to engage with God through prayer, journaling, or studying scripture. This could coincide with your children’s nap times, early mornings, or quiet evenings—whatever works best for your routine.

   
   

3. Engage with Resources: Books and Bible studies can transform your devotional time. Our newly published Dining Deeper Bundle, which includes the Dining with the Word devotional and its companion Bible study, offers a beautifully crafted journey of scripture engagement that will help you deepen your understanding while connecting your heart to God.

   
   

4. Embrace Creative Expression: Use art, music, or writing as a means to connect with God. Create worship playlists, draw, or journal about your thoughts and prayers. There are no boundaries to how you can express your faith.
