Everyday Prayers with Million Praying Moms

A prayer based on Matthew 16:13-17. I recently heard a story about a little boy who, because of abuse and neglect at the hands of his own parents, went to live in a foster home. His foster parents were loving people who longed to give him a stable home. On the first day of school, his foster dad drove him to the front of the school and told him, “I’ll be here waiting when school is over.” Immediately the boy began to cry uncontrollably. After some probing, the patient foster dad discovered that in the little boy's past experience, even when the adults in his life had promised to be there—to pick him up after school—most of the time they didn't follow through. He was fearful of being left alone. Do you know God well enough to live in a way that testifies to the gospel? Is your life a living testimony?

A prayer based on 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. How has our comfort with the gospel of Jesus Christ watered down our understanding of who he is? Have we become salt gradually losing our saltiness? Listen to today's podcast episode from Katie Westenberg. Would you like to have today's episode in written form? Consider joining our Patreon!

A prayer based on Mark 14:66-68. Have you ever looked for something, afraid you'd actually find it? Maybe a job you worried you'd fail miserably at, so you never applied. Maybe friendship at a moms group, but you doubted anybody would talk to you, so you didn't go. We want Jesus. We know we need to seek him. But when it comes to actually seeking Jesus do our fears get in the way? Do we doubt God wants to meet with us? Do we avoid seeking Jesus due to our fear?

A prayer based on Psalm 51:1-2. A strange tickling sensation on my face woke me with a start. Then I yelped and leaped off the couch as I realized my toddler had been doodling on both the couch and my face and arms, with a black permanent marker! I frantically ripped covers off the cushions and fled to the basement to scrub away my son's artistry before stains could set in. I look back on this scene now with laughter, but at the time all I could think of was erasing this transgression, and in the moment, I wasn't incredibly merciful as I fumed about ruined fabric. What shame are you still holding on to? How can you show your kids the power of God's sacrifice in erasing our shame and guilt?

A prayer based on Psalm 23:1-2. My son shared how grateful he was that a shepherd would not forget his sheep even when it was lost. His vivid explanation of the shepherd's relentless search, care, and comfort for his sheep touched a soft place in my son's heart as he was struggling with his own recent behavior issues and felt like he kept getting stuck in his efforts to find his way back to his time with the Lord. What a true shepherd we have who comforts and cares for us even when we wander. How do I lead my children to the Good Shepherd who can care for them like only a true shepherd can? Will I intentionally seek rest, allowing him to meet all my desires and be enough that my soul is satisfied? Listen to today's podcast episode from September McCarthy.

A prayer based on 1 Thessalonians 2:4. When we realize the goodness of God, we get a glimpse of how human we are. Knowing our humanity, it's hard to imagine ourselves as able to please God. This verse is encouraging, though, because it reminds us that we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel! What areas of your life are you not living to please God?

A prayer based on 1 Timothy 6:17. Josiah read a number of books about investing and studied the lives of some of the most successful men in the world of finance. However, at the same time, he was reading other books by a great deal of amazing men like C.S. Lewis and St. Augustine, as well as the Bible. Josiah will tell you that if one truth stood out to him above all others, it is the fact that nothing, no worldly success or status symbol or material possession will ever satisfy the human heart. 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?

A prayer based on Proverbs 14:29. Just today, a group of my friends were discussing how easy it is to be angry with your children all the time. They whine and complain, they don't get schoolwork done, and they get on our nerves with their bickering. Worse yet, we think somehow we're gonna motivate them to do the right thing with our anger. What can you do to keep a tranquil heart towards your children? What are situations that make it easier to lose your temper? Listen to today's podcast episode from Melanie Young.

A prayer based on Luke 7:47. On a fall morning, I was pulled over speeding in a school zone. The morning had been a challenge, and I was ready to quit by 8am. My youngest turned into a puddle as we were going out the door and wouldn’t move. Then he took off like a rocket down the driveway. As I scooped him up and wrestled him into his car seat, I looked up to see my neighbor. I waved and slammed the car door. How have you experienced God's grace lately? How can you show that grace to your kids? Listen to today's podcast episode from Tara L. Cole.   Would you like to have today's episode in written form? Consider joining our Patreon!

A prayer based on 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. How is God calling you to be set apart? How might we encourage our children when they struggle with being set apart?
