05 | Why You Can’t Seem to Let Go of Anxiety as a Mother — and How Jesus Brings Real Peace

Do you ever feel anxious as a mother — not because something is wrong right now, but because you’re afraid of what might happen?

You care deeply. You want to protect your child. You want to make the right decisions.

And yet, the more you care, the harder it feels to rest.

In this episode of Someone Called Jesus, we explore why anxiety feels so heavy for mothers — and why it’s not a sign that something is wrong with you. Very often, anxiety comes from love that feels like it has to carry everything alone.

Through Scripture and gentle teaching, you’ll discover how the gospel becomes a place to rest, and how Jesus invites anxious hearts to place the weight back into His hands.

In This Episode, You’ll Discover:

• Why anxiety in motherhood often comes from deep care, not failure
• Why telling yourself to “stop worrying” doesn’t actually bring peace
• How Jesus meets anxious moms while they’re still carrying the weight
• A gentle, practical path for letting go — without guilt or pressure
• How God’s Word protects your mind when anxiety returns

Key Scriptures:

• Matthew 11:28
• Isaiah 53:5
• 1 Peter 5:7
• Psalm 34:18
• Proverbs 3:5
• 2 Timothy 1:7
• Isaiah 26:3

Gentle Reminder:

You were never meant to be the one holding everything together. You can care deeply without carrying everything. You can let go — because you are already held.
