Welcome to the Paul Tripp podcast, where pastor and best-selling author Dr. Paul David Tripp connects the transforming power of Jesus Christ to everyday life.

This weekend, we celebrate Mother's Day, and in today's episode, Paul wants to briefly exhort and encourage weary moms.

He first addresses single moms and aims to encourage them with

the gospel as they struggle to raise children without a father. Here's Paul with the gospel for single moms.

My heart really goes out to the masses of single moms out there.

I have talked to hundreds of you during parenting weekends.

I love you. My heart goes out to you.

There's a couple things that I want to say to you.

One, you are not

being asked by God

to do

what only two people can do.

You just can't.

You can't think

that now you have to be the man and the woman.

You're only going to be the woman. You're only going to be the mom.

Now think about this.

You're not the only one that lives with limits in this fallen world.

We all get faced with some kind of limits.

Those limits are God's choices for us.

Usually there are limits that we wouldn't have set for ourselves. We wouldn't have written our story this way.

There are limits that God and his sovereignty has placed on us.
