Everyday Prayers with Million Praying Moms

I talked with some friends recently who said something that I thought perfectly captured the years between the ages of 12 and about 14. They said, one minute you're so proud of who they're becoming and the next you think they might be complete idiots. This is so true, but after talking with my friends, I realized that it's also quite normal. The exponential growth our boys and girls are experiencing during this season makes them scattered, emotional, amazing, dramatic, smart, and a little bit fussy. It also makes them more able to learn and embrace the world around them than ever before, and that's a good thing. Except, I haven't been enjoying it that much. I have been parenting from a place of fear and have let the stress of that lifestyle keep me from experiencing the joy of watching some of my very favorite people grow up.

Nothing seems to challenge us to conform to the image of God like being a parent. I think the preteen years are the worst. The kids are a hormonal mess. They can't remember what they're doing, they bicker non-stop, and if you call them down about the slightest thing, they completely lose it in a shower of accusations. How on earth do you deal with them though when they're just unreasonable and so annoying? Listen to today's episode from Melanie Young, based on Ephesians 4:20-22.

I tell my kids this until the day they leave the home. When we become disgruntled over petty things like weather, fairness, or material possessions, our remembrance of what true blessings are has slipped far from our focus. We use the word blessings so freely and loosely in our culture today, and yet do we truly understand what it means to live the blessed life? Perhaps we overcomplicate the Christian life and make it more about comfort and blessings for our needs or what we deserve. When was the last time you thought about what it truly means to be blessed?

He looked at me imploringly with his chocolate brown eyes and said, “Mom what if it's not true? What if God isn't real?” My heart broke a little bit with these questions while simultaneously being grateful for my son's honesty. I breathed a prayer as I sought to give him an answer knowing full well my words would not be enough. But when my words are inadequate, God faithfully gives me his words. That day he brought Mark 9:24 to mind and I shared the verse with my son. “I believe, help my unbelief.” I asked him to pray this prayer whenever he has doubts. What do you know to be true of God? Has he proven himself faithful to you? Have you known his love? Listen to today's episode from Becky Daye, from Mark 9:24. Would you like to have today's episode in written form?

Having a loving heart usually involves doing what is hard. In Matthew 5:46, Jesus gives us a challenge: “if you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that?” In what way is God asking you to do the hard, loving thing this week? Listen to today's episode from Christie Thomas, from 1 John 3:18.

We live in a world where people are longing to feel valued. The wild events of this year have made that clear. As humans, we want to know we matter. We want others to treat us in ways that communicate value. We want to feel worthy, loved, important. But people can never make us feel truly valued. That’s because they don’t know us the way God does. What would happen if we woke every day knowing our value? How would our priorities, attitudes and interactions change?

My children have no fear of scarcity. No thought for where they'll sleep at night. They don't question it—they know it: the snack jar will be filled, the dinner will satisfy, and no matter the wrong done, they can snuggle up under my arm at night. Why? Because that is all they've ever known. Knowing our goodness enables them to trust they'll always be cared for. And when we know God's goodness, we can live satisfied that he is faithful to provide. Are you dwelling in a life built on a scarcity mindset? Fearing there won't be enough? Listen to today's episode from Julie Kieras, based on Psalm 31:19.

Moms today invest a lot in cultivating lifelong skills and music politics, hobbies, and talent. What if we used those outlets as venues for wise friendships? What if we invested as much in ensuring a child finds and walks with wise friends so they'll become wise? How can you help your children have opportunity for wise friendships?

"It seems unfair that there are people who might abuse their own bodies and make all kinds of bad decisions, yet somehow live a really long life. It just seems wrong that some really evil people get to enjoy this life while some really good people have to suffer so much." I can recall countless conversations around our family table or at my children's bedside talking about these topics. And the only truth I can promise them and myself is that somehow, in the big picture, God's ways are best. They just are. We may not comprehend everything, and we may never fully discover what goes on under the sun, but we can know that it will be better for those who fear God. Do you know what it looks to trust and fear the Lord, especially when life seems unfair? Listen to today's episode from Monica Swanson, based on Ecclesiastes 8:12.

What does it mean to dwell? It certainly means to live, to occupy a house or apartment, but we also use the word to mean to point attention toward. If you dwell on something, you focus on it steadfastly, not wavering or casting about for something else. But why should we? Because He makes clear the path of life, helping us to know where we should step. He fills us with joy as we spend time in his presence, and who doesn't need more joy? Do you know what it means...what it feels like to dwell in the Lord's presence? Listen to today's episode from Laura Lee Groves, based on Psalm 16:11.
