Episode 41: He Hath Borne Our Griefs & Carried Our Sorrows | Isaiah 50–57 + General Conference
This week on Come, Follow Me Moms, we’re studying Isaiah and talking about some of my favorite messages from General Conference!
Isaiah teaches us something every overwhelmed, exhausted, worried mama needs to hear:
You were never meant to carry everything alone.
Isaiah prophesied of Jesus Christ as “a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief.” He didn't just come to save us from our sins—He came to bear our griefs and carry our sorrows. He understands the worry, loneliness, exhaustion, heartbreak, mom guilt, and seasons when life looks completely different than we thought it would. Pasted markdown
Sometimes we pray for God to take the hard thing away, but instead He says, “I'm going to walk through it with you.”
In this episode we talk about:
- Isaiah 51: Remembering what God has already done when we're struggling to trust what He's doing now.
- Isaiah 53: Jesus Christ understands our grief, sorrow, pain, and exhaustion. Sometimes the miracle isn't that He removes the hard thing—it's that He carries us while it's still hard.
- Isaiah 54: Our circumstances constantly change, but His kindness doesn't.
- Isaiah 55: God's beautiful invitation is simply, COME. Come tired. Come overwhelmed. Come imperfect. Come when your testimony is strong and come when you're struggling. Just come. Pasted markdown Pasted markdown
And after a beautiful General Conference weekend, we're connecting Isaiah's teachings with a few messages that stood out to me about deliverance, waiting on the Lord, finding our lift in Jesus Christ, trusting God when the rain falls, and loving people through their struggles. Pasted markdown
One message kept coming back to me:
Waiting does not mean forgotten.
The gospel doesn't promise us that the rain won't fall. It teaches us where to stand when it does. And when we're sinking, Jesus Christ is our lift. Pasted markdown
This week's invitation
Ask yourself:
What am I carrying that Jesus Christ has already offered to help me carry?
Name it. Pray about it. Give some of that weight to Him.
Because:
“Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows.” — Isaiah 53:4
Mama, you don't have to have everything figured out. Just keep coming to Christ. ❤️
