Are you trying to be a perfect woman, mother, or Christian — and just feel exhausted?
This heartfelt and humorous Mother’s Day sermon by Pastor Gary Wilkerson invites women to stop striving under the weight of perfectionism and find freedom in God’s grace. Drawing from Proverbs 31 and Galatians 4, it contrasts the pressures of “doing it all” with the liberating truth of our identity as daughters of God.
Main Ideas:
- Proverbs 31 can feel like pressure, not inspiration.
- Perfectionism leads to burnout and shame. The desire to earn love and approval—both human and divine—can trap us in performance and addiction cycles.
- We're not called to earn God’s love—he’s already given it. Galatians 4 reminds us that we are not slaves under the law but adopted daughters of God, free and beloved.
- Grace empowers, not burdens. The life of faith isn’t about striving but about trusting Jesus to work through us with his strength.
- Today is not just Mother's Day—it's Daughter’s Day. A powerful declaration that our worth is not in doing more, but in being God's child. Are you trying to be a perfect woman, mother, or Christian — and just feel exhausted?
