ABOUT

For a long time, I felt like a failure. As a Christian woman, I wanted so badly to live up to the expectations I thought were placed on me: to be organized, productive, and in control. But with ADHD, it often felt like I was falling short. My to-do lists stayed unchecked, my thoughts scattered, and my emotions could swing from overwhelmed to frustrated in a heartbeat. I found myself asking, "Why can't I get it together like everyone else seems to?"

 

It took me a while to realize that I was holding myself to a standard God never asked me to meet. I was trying to be "perfect" by my own strength and understanding, forgetting that God's grace was already covering me.

 

The truth is, God knows my struggles. He knows the challenges ADHD brings, and He loves me through every bit of it. He doesn't look at me with disappointment when I forget things or when I'm overwhelmed by the chaos. Instead, He invites me to rest in His grace, the grace He freely gives to all of His children.

 

I had to learn to extend that same grace to myself. God's grace isn't just about forgiving sin; it's also about empowering us to live fully, even with our weaknesses. As 2 Corinthians 12:9 reminds us, His strength is made perfect in our weakness. I no longer see my ADHD as a flaw that disqualifies me from living out my faith, but as part of the story that God is writing in my life.

 

Through this journey, I've discovered that I don’t have to be "perfect" to be worthy of God’s love. My worth is found in Him, and He has already given me the grace I need. So, I’m learning to embrace that grace daily and remind myself that God’s love doesn’t hinge on my performance—it’s rooted in His unchanging faithfulness.

 

If you’re struggling with ADHD, know that you don’t have to carry the weight of it alone. God is with you in every scattered thought, every undone task, and every overwhelming moment. He’s given you grace, so give yourself the permission to rest in that grace too.
