Mother Day | Tonya Riggle

Summary

In this Mother's Day sermon, Tanya Riggle uses Psalm 42 to explore the emotional journey of mothers, comparing their inner life to a garden that needs careful tending and addressing of deep-rooted issues. She emphasizes the importance of acknowledging and processing difficult emotions, using the psalmist's vulnerable prayer as an example of courageously naming one's internal struggles before God. The key takeaway is an invitation for mothers to seek spiritual and emotional rest by bringing their inner turmoil, anxieties, and overwhelm directly to God, recognizing that true healing comes from addressing the roots of our emotional challenges rather than merely covering them up.
