It’s no secret that singer and actress Jamie Lynn Spears has relied on faith to help her get through her daughter’s harrowing recovery following a horrific ATV accident.
In fact, Spears took to Instagram last week to share a page from her devotional as well as a long message to her fans about her belief that “God’s timing is no coincidence.”
Writing specifically about her 8-year-old daughter, Maddie, and the scary accident that left the singer fearful, she offered some candid lessons about what the incident taught her about faith, motherhood and plenty more.
“I turned 26 years old today I’m not one to preach, and I’m no priest, but God’s timing is no coincidence,” she wrote. “Music, and my career have always been a big passion in my life … I have been working on my music for almost a decade now, and I have had many great successes as an artist/writer, but I was always wondering, how long I would have to WAIT for my big break?”
Spears continued, “Wow, did God put me in my place.”

In the end, Spears said she learned a profound lesson about impatience and God’s timing as she nervously awaited her daughter’s recovery — a lesson that put everything into perspective.
“Time doesn’t matter, and seems to blur together when you’re waiting for your daughter to wake up, and a day could be a week, and you wouldn’t notice, because you’re fighting for what you love,” she continued. “For obvious reasons, I put everything with my work life on hold … now, more then ever, I realize how important it is to only put your time into things that matter.”
Spears said she can’t wait to get back to her music now that Maddie is better and that she “can’t wait to make her proud.” She concluded by thanking her fans for their prayers and patience.
“(Twenty-six) is gonna be a good year,” she wrote.
As Faithwire previously reported, Spears has relied on her faith throughout her daughter’s ordeal, frequently asking fans for prayer.
