A Devotional for Mothers of Hurting Children

n

In Mothertude, L. Mehnert speaks directly to mothers standing at the crossroads of heartbreak and faith. When life unravels and children suffer in ways a mother's love cannot fix, this compassionate devotional offers a path back to God-one marked by courage, lament, and fierce spiritual honesty.

n

Drawing on the biblical story of the Canaanite mother who boldly pleaded with Jesus, Mehnert invites women to adopt a sacred attitude she calls mothertude-the fierce, prayerful posture of a mother who refuses to let go of divine love even in the darkest moments.

n

Through deeply personal reflections, poetic lament, and scriptural meditations, Mothertude guides mothers through five movements of spiritual transformation: encounter, rejection, protest, transformation, and reflection. Each section encourages women to bring their unfiltered grief, anger, and awe to God, discovering that faith is not about perfection-it's about perseverance.

This is not an ordinary devotional. Mothertude speaks to the mothers who wake up praying for miracles, who wrestle with despair in hospital rooms or therapy sessions, and who refuse to surrender hope. Whether your child faces illness, mental health challenges, addiction, neurodiversity, or loss, these pages will remind you that God is present in the struggle, listening through the sobs, and strong enough to hold your pain.
