Hey everyone. Welcome to the Dorenda Wilson podcast. I'm Dorenda, and as most of you know,

I often speak to homeschooling moms, but this devotional series that I'm doing, Grace for a

mom's heart, is for all moms who want to grow in their understanding of the word and specifically

how it applies to motherhood. So I would love it if you would share it with all of your friends.

And also, if you could take a minute or two and leave a quick

review from wherever you're listening, if it's iTunes or Overcast or Spotify, any of those places,

what happens is when you leave a review, those places automatically show the podcast to other

moms who are looking for podcasts to listen to. So that

would be super helpful. Today, we are going to be studying Psalm 3. Now, I don't know about you,

but I have my own set of enemies that I battle with on a regular basis. You know, sometimes

these enemies are on the outside and sometimes

they're on the inside, you know. But if you are struggling with enemies in your own life, you will find

some great comfort in Psalm 3. The Psalms were written by several authors, but of course, David is the

one who wrote most of them, and David is the

author of this particular Psalm. He is in the midst of running for his life from several enemies,

including his own ungrateful son, Absalom. He's being pursued for his crown and his very life, and even his

own flesh and blood is out to get him. I cannot imagine the heartache and betrayal that David felt

in this particular situation. You know, as moms, we have our own vast and varied enemies that we face,

some for a season and others on an ongoing basis.

Some of us are feeling the weight of wayward children,

but all of us seem to be struggling with a certain amount of anxiety.

We're told a million different ways how to raise our kids.
