Everyday Prayers with Million Praying Moms

“But you, O Lord, are a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter of my head" (Psalm 3:3). In a time of danger, David believed in the power and desire of God to be the shield he desperately needed. The opposition said, “there is no salvation for him in God,” but God's peace proved them wrong. How have you experienced unfairness or disgrace? What would you say to God the shield if you confided your need for protection to him? What would it take for you to lay down and rest in total peace? ~Julie Sanders Tune in now to listen to today's entire devotion and start your day off praying God's Word for your family!

"Whoever is slow to anger has great understanding, but he who has a hasty temper exalts folly" (Proverbs 14:29). The anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God. It doesn't even produce godliness in our kids. In fact, this week's passage tells us that when we rush to anger, we are exalting foolishness. Uggg. You know what it looks like. You've got a busy day planned, but if everything goes right, you can get it done. Your 11-year-old picks just that time to have one of those preteen meltdowns. He or she starts throwing around accusations. "You don't love me. You don't care about me. You don't understand me!" It's hard not to lose your temper. ~Melanie Young Tune in now to listen to today's entire devotion and start your day off praying God's Word for your family!

"The Lord is my shepherd. I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters" (Psalm 23:1-2). As a mama investing daily into her children, I grow weary and worried in the journey. I watch my children making choices and know that although I can lead them in the way they should go, it's only the Good Shepherd who can care for them when they get stuck or need comfort I can't give. There is no pretending that we ourselves are prone to wonder and forget to rest when everything the world has to offer distracts us. Jesus, our Good Shepherd, will take our hand and lead us to the quiet places. It's here we can release our cares and find comfort and rest in his promises. ~September McCarthy Tune in now to listen to today's entire devotion and start your day off praying God's Word for your family!

"Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment" (1 Timothy 6:17). How can we live in this world but never lose sight of God as our provider? How might we teach our children to do the same? Even the wealthiest men in the world are not satisfied by their mansions, fancy cars, or the security of having billions in a bank account. In fact, many of the wealthiest men ultimately found themselves lonely, miserable, and broken. ~Monica Swanson Tune in now to listen to today's entire devotion and start your day off praying God's Word for your family!

"...and they were all amazed so that they questioned among themselves saying, 'What is this? A new teaching with authority. He commands even the unclean spirits and they obey him'" (Mark 1:27). When was the last time you were amazed? Truly, think about it. It's tricky isn't it? I know I've been amazed by how quickly my house can get messy or how the dryer shrinks my jeans. I've been amazed by the resources it takes to keep a family thriving or amazed by how long it takes to get through a grocery store checkout. But it's possible I have weakened a bit of the word’s intended potency. In the casualness of our language, the contorting and comfortability that perhaps changes with time and culture, we lose something, don't we? That's a risk, a loss. But we lose something far greater when, with the complacency of our words, we water down our understanding of the power of Jesus Christ. ~Katie Westenberg Tune in now to listen to today's entire devotion and start your day off praying God's Word for your family!

"Therefore I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven, that's why she loved so much. But the one who is forgiven little loves little" (Luke 7:47). Whether you grew up in the church or not, we all have been forgiven much. Verses like Galatians 5:16-21 make it pretty clear that God sees sexual immorality, drunkenness, jealousy, and selfish ambition as all the same. Though we see some sin as “big sin” and others as “little” God doesn’t. They all sent his Son to the cross, and Jesus died for each and every one. Wherever you are today in your walk with God, let that thought sink in. ~Tara L Cole Tune in now to listen to today's entire devotion and start your day off praying God's Word for your family!

“But just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, so we speak, not to please man, but to please God who tests our hearts" (1 Thessalonians 2:4). When our eyes are heavenward, we can trust and rest in God's goodness despite our circumstances. We can know God's ways will prevail, not man's. We can be assured he is using our circumstances for our good, but most of all, for his glory—and that's what living to please God is about. ~Laura Lee Groves Tune in now to listen to today's entire devotion and start your day off praying God's Word for your family!

“But I have trusted in your steadfast love; My heart shall rejoice in your salvation. I will sing to the Lord, because he has dealt bountifully with me" (Psalm 13:5-6). When my day is falling apart, how do I respond? David began Psalm 40 with a simple statement, “I wait patiently for the Lord.” Far too often I've failed to wait for the Lord. I'm impatiently trying to figure out how to salvage my plan or getting frustrated with whomever it seems has interfered with the way I intended my day to proceed. ~Teri Lynne Underwood Tune in now to listen to today's entire devotion and start your day off praying God's Word for your family!

“Wisdom is good with an inheritance, an advantage to those who see the sun. For the protection of wisdom is like the protection of money, and the advantage of knowledge is that wisdom preserves the life of him who has it" (Ecclesiastes 7:11-12). The Hebrew word for wisdom is, “chokmah,” and is used 145 times in the Old Testament. It means skill in war, administration, shrewdness, prudence in religious affairs, wisdom both ethical and religious. It carries with it an implication that leads to action. Chokmah impacts our decisions and how we serve God. There is also a God-given natural flow of chokmah that brings with it profit, protection, and preservation. ~Stacey Thacker Tune in now to listen to today's entire devotion and start your day off praying God's Word for your family!

“And the king spoke with them, and among all of them none was found like Daniel, Hananiah, Michael, and Azariah. Therefore, they stood before the king" (Daniel 1:19). When we feel that we are different and loved beyond measure by God it is incredible, but it also calls us to do difficult things—to uphold integrity, to be truth tellers, to swim against the current. The world will be pulling at us to fall in line and follow suit. We are asked to stand up and stand alone—to not let the world change us but to change the world around us. It requires strength and vision beyond our own and a deep, unshakable faith. ~Michelle Krol Tune in now to listen to today's entire devotion and start your day off praying God's Word for your family!
