Single parenthood can feel overwhelming at times. The responsibilities are endless, and there are moments when you may wonder how you will make it through another day (Philippians 4:13). I remember always feeling overwhelmed, drained, lonely, full of despair and sometimes fearful. The more I prayed the less I felt alone. I am here to tell you; on this journey you are not alone. It is imperative to have God in your life. If you do not know Christ, I encourage you to begin a personal relationship with Him. You are in a position that requires a new you whether you know it or not. It is up to you to set a solid foundation for your child(ren) (1 Corinthians 3:11).

Leadership is important because you are the example your child(ren) will emulate. Leadership begins with becoming a follower of Christ. Show your child what love, integrity and faith looks like through the actions of Christ. I beg you to give all your worries and cares to Jesus (1 Peter 5:7). God has a special compassion for those carrying the weight of parenting alone.
