Even in broken-up days, God can give me a quiet moment.

A Bible affirmation for postpartum, rooted in Psalm 23:2.

He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters.

Psalm 23:2 · BSB

Reflection

Sheep only lie down when they feel safe. Your rest may come in five-minute pieces right now. God can restore you in short breaths and small mercies, not only in long uninterrupted ones.

A prayer

Father, lead me to small moments of quiet today, and restore me in them.
