A Military Mom’s Journey of Prayer
God has taken my time of darkness—my last resort—and is shining it as a light for those who are also facing the incredible stress of having a loved one at war.
Whether you call her Mom, Mama, Ma, or your own pet name, your mother is a precious woman because she gave you the ultimate gift–your life.
God has taken my time of darkness—my last resort—and is shining it as a light for those who are also facing the incredible stress of having a loved one at war.
She may not have been the best cook in the world, and she couldn’t sew a button on to save her life, but she shared many valuable lessons with me while she was here on Earth.
So often we feel God has neglected and abandoned us, He’s assembling a special blessing to remind us how much He cares.
God was right, though. Motherhood is full of triumph and tragedy. But it’s the most rewarding job I could ever have hoped for.
I don’t know when I’d experienced such love. When I think back, I can still remember the quiet of darkness broken by our voices, the delicious goodness of having my mom all to myself.
What prayer do you remember most from your mother? How did your mom’s prayer impact your life?
We truly have just 18 summers before our children leave home—and each season is precious beyond words.
I think every mother goes through those times when we wonder if we’re really capable of raising the children we’ve been given. On those difficult days, we have to stand on the Word of God and all of its promises.
To celebrate Mother’s Day, we asked our readers to share with us the best pieces of advice their mothers had ever given them.
Maybe the restfulness that I long for is somewhat of a choice. Maybe it’s a conscious effort to ask the Spirit to help me claim what I know that I need.
On this national day of prayer, we have the privilege and responsibility to come together in prayer. Together, we have the ability to amplify that heart’s cry asking God to keep those men and women in our military safe.
The connection between a parent and child is powerful, sometimes in a mysterious, miraculous way.
