God sees you, loves you, and is with you in every season of motherhood.
Motherhood is beautiful—but it’s also exhausting, sacrificial, and full of moments that can leave a mom wondering, Am I doing any of this right?
Between the sleepless nights, the constant giving, and the invisible emotional load moms carry, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed or even overlooked. But the truth is, God sees every act of love, every whispered prayer, every tear wiped from a child’s cheek.
This Mother’s Day, whether you’re a new mom in the trenches or a seasoned mama learning to let go a little more each year, take a moment to soak in these powerful Bible verses. They remind us of the strength, grace, and identity we have in Christ—not just as women, but as mothers.
And if you’re looking to share encouragement with the moms in your life, I’ve paired each verse with a thoughtful Amazon gift idea. Because scripture paired with love? That’s a blessing that keeps on giving.

So this Mother’s Day, whether you’re wiping sticky hands, dropping off teenagers, or missing a child who’s no longer with you—may these verses fill your heart with the truth: you are loved, seen, and called.
