Immerse Yourself in the Word

woman reading Bible

Scripture was one of the most powerful weapons I had for fighting PMADs. It could also be one of the hardest to use. Sometimes, this was because a new baby and depression made the Bible seem inaccessible. In between feedings, diaper changes, and caring for other children, any sort of deep study of Scripture was rare. Yet there are still ways to deeply engage with Scripture and pray well without a picture-perfect quiet time

  • Post Scripture where you sit and meditate on it while you feed the baby.
  • Read the Psalms during midnight feeds.
  • Listen to audio Bibles or music while you hold a sleeping baby.
  • Tack up a memory verse or prayer list where you change diapers.
