Bible verses needed

[Joy]

I am the editor of the bulletin for the Moms group at our church. I would like to start adding a new bible verse in the heading each month but I am not familiar with any that would fit my needs. Can you suggest some that would be comforting to a mother? Especially one who needs to be reassured that what she is doing is still worthwhile given all the difficulties.

Thank you so much,
Joy

I think the verses that would be encouraging to anyone would be encouraging to moms. Here’s one of my wife’s favorites:

Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not rely on your own insight. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
Proverbs 3:5-6
