Parenting a child with special needs is its own kind of love and its own kind of exhaustion. These verses see both.

“For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb. I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.”
Psalm 139:13-14 (KJV)
“He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young.”
Isaiah 40:11 (KJV)“And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.”
2 Corinthians 12:9 (KJV)Psalm 139 insists on the full fearful and wonderful making of every child — not the typical ones, not the easy ones, every child formed in the womb by the same intentional hand. Your child is not a mistake or an incomplete version of someone else. They are the specific work of a God who makes no production errors. And the shepherd of Isaiah 40 gently leads those who are with young — at the pace the ones in their care actually move.
