Take Me Deeper

Good Morning Beauties!
Welcome to the 2026 Mother’s Day 40 Day Journey! I’m thrilled you’ve decide to join me as we journey with Jesus. Together, we will walk with our Lord as He helps us purge the lies of the enemy and replace them with God’s truth. We will open our hearts to His revelation of our true identity. Before you were a wife, before you were a mother, you were YOU. Now’s the time to return to her and prioritize your beautiful relationship with your creator.
Here are the three pillars of our journey. May you find abundant blessing and growth in each step.
1. Identity Restored
“I have called you by name; you are mine.” — Isaiah 43:1
2. Renewal of Mind & Self
“Be renewed in the spirit of your minds… and put on the new self.” — Ephesians 4:23–24
3. Abiding Before Doing
“Abide in me, and I in you.” — John 15:4
These together create a beautiful and quiet progression:
You are known → You are being renewed → You are invited to remain
Like on any extended trip, we must be properly prepared. We must pack our essentials to have a great journey. There are three '“tools” I believe are necessary to ensure a successful experience. They are expectations, overcoming obstacles, and motivation. Grab your journals and find space to answer the questions as we review each tool.
Expectations - what are you believing will happen through your journey experience? What are you willing to do to make sure you meet those expectations? Are you willing to go deeper, even when you feel fear? What are you wanting God to do? What’s your part and His part? Selah.
Overcoming Obstacles - the enemy will put obstacles in your way to prevent you from having a successful journey. Write down what you see as a possible roadblock and create an action plan to overcome it. You may come up with several obstacles, so be sure to write a plan of action for each one. Selah.
Motivation - why are you taking this journey? Why now? When you’re tempted to quit, you’ll need a reminder of why you’re going on this journey. On those days when you’re running late or you’re being pulled in a million different directions you’ll need to remember why you’re prioritizing Jesus in this season of your life. Remember all you hope to gain and how your life will be changed forever. Selah.
I love the scripture below, it’s our anchor verse for this journey. To me, it’s a picture of God’s devotion to us. It speaks of His great love and to the intimacy we have with Jesus. This verse also speaks directly to identity. Before you were anyone’s wife or mother, you were His. He formed you, redeemed you, and calls you by name.
Reflect on the scripture and song below as you prepare for an amazing journey. As a bonus, I’ve also included more worship songs to fill your morning with the sweet sound of love and worship to our beautiful Savior, Jesus.
Love and Blessings,
Kendra
