Easter isn’t just a once-a-year celebration; it’s the foundation of our faith.
The resurrection of Jesus changed everything—it brought hope, freedom, and the promise of new life.
But if we’re honest, it’s easy to lose sight of that hope in the middle of everyday struggles.
Between the endless to-do lists, the weight of responsibilities as a wife and mom, and the frustrations that come with marriage and parenting, we can feel drained - and hopeless.
So how do we truly live in the hope of the resurrection daily?
The key is remembering that Jesus’ victory is your victory.
When He rose, He conquered sin, shame, and despair—things that often keep us stuck.
That means you don’t have to stay trapped in guilt over your shortcomings, frustration over your husband’s habits, or weariness from the demands of motherhood.
You can choose to stay trapped, by focusing on those things rather than focusing on Christ.
His resurrection power is at work in you, giving you strength for each new day. When you make THAT your focus, like the hymn says, "And the things of earth will grow strangely dim, in the light of His glory and grace."
So what does this look like in real life?
First, it means intentionally shifting your focus from your circumstances to Christ.
When challenges arise, take a moment to remind yourself: Jesus is alive, and because of that, I have hope.
It's pride that causes us to focus so much on ourselves, our own comfort, our own joy...having things our own way.
But when you intentionally choose to think about Jesus, Who He is and what He's done, along with choosing to think about Philippians 4:8 things that are pure, lovely, true, and praiseworthy, you will begin to see a tremendous shift in your heart and attitude.
Second, fill your mind with Scripture.
Read the Bible daily, discover new methods of studying the Bible so you can find the one that connects with your style of learning, and make that habit a priority.
Listen to sermons from wise, godly pastors, or podcasts from older, godly women.
Meditate on Scripture; verses like Romans 8:11 (“The Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you”) remind you that you have access to His strength.
Lastly, practice gratitude.
The resurrection is the ultimate proof of God’s love and power, and daily thanksgiving shifts your perspective from frustration to faith.
Living in the hope of the resurrection isn’t about waiting for perfect circumstances.
It’s about anchoring your heart in the truth that Jesus is alive and at work in you - not by your strength, but by HIS.
As you embrace that, you'll walk in greater joy, peace, and confidence in your roles as wife, mom, daughter, friend, and everything in between.
