  • Well hello to you today, welcome to this episode of The Prayer Podcast. I’m thankful you’re joining me for this episode where we’re talking about moms, specifically encouraging moms to keep praying for their children. Have A Prayer Request? Submit It Here! A 60-Day Prayer Journal for Parents Praying Psalm 91 Audio Course There is a unique long-haul kind of praying that only mothers understand. We begin praying for them before they are born, as they develop and grow and are knit together by God in the womb. As newborns, oh my how a mother prays over that little baby! The first year, there is a lot to pray about. Developmentally alone, those prayers could fill an entire prayer journal for many moms. Toddlerhood, well, praying all the time, those shooting arrow kind of prayers all day long for protection, for patience, for the ability to be fully in the moment, for sleep, for safety, for time to both slow down and speed up, depending on the day. And that is just the start of a praying mom’s lifetime of prayer. Today I want to come alongside you as a fellow mom who prays daily for her children, and now my grandchildren as well. You are not alone in all the ups and downs that come with a life dedicated to covering your children in prayer, of the continual lifting up their needs and their broken areas before the Lord. It is possibly the most natural thing for a Christian mom to do, this praying, but it is also a choice we must make daily, especially when the praying is so long in obtaining an answer, when their choices break our hearts, when we know we are nearing the end of our rope, but all we can do is hang on and keep crying out to God for our children. If you’ve been dealing with long haul praying and the burden of being a praying mom has begun to feel heavy, weighing on your heart, always in the back of your mind, dreading the next phone call or text message, but still continuing in prayer, even waking up during the night to pray for your child…can I just say that while I can’t give you an in person hug and sit with you and let your share your heart and unload your burdens, I can do this: tell you that you are not alone, you are seen, your struggles and the burden you bear really is a noble cause, one of the highest possible causes in the Kindgom of God, and your labor in the Lord will not end up being in vain. Make no mistake, this kind of praying, going to the Lord on your child’s behalf when your own heart is broken and feels like it will never be mended, that is a labor not only of love, but for the disciple of Jesus, it is a labor in the Lord and He has promised that it will not be for nothing. While some may say that God is simply building your child’s testimony, today I don’t want to say that to you, because many of us cannot be comforted by that today. We know the place our child is living, and we can’t be soothed with platitudes or even with things that may well prove true in the end…because we carry the mom-burden in our hearts and minds at this moment, and we need to be seen, supported, and prayed for, even as we pray for our children. In 1 Samuel, we find Hannah at the temple praying for a child, as her womb had been barren and her heart was in anguish, and Eli the High Priest misunderstood her, assuming she was drunk. She had her tear-laden prayer answered, and my prayer for you today is that you, too, will very soon see the answer to the prayers you have prayed as a mother, the crying and the tears have all been captured in the Lord’s bottle, and may you see those answered prayers come to fruition soon, very soon. A mother’s heart holds things unique to her, and Mary the mother of Jesus treasured up things in her heart that were revealed to her about her son. Yes, Jesus lived as God in the flesh, and was the Savior for His earthly mother as well as for all mankind, for all who will receive Him. And yet, somehow, God allowed her to store up things in her heart that must have broken her heart in ways only moms can relate to. Those things you have stored up, treasured in your heart, the wonderful and joyous things and the things that are so incredibly painful that they rip a hole in your own soul, God knows all about those things and He knows all about your soul-ripping pain. I cannot begin to lessen that pain, but I can speak over you the truth that God has not failed to see all your hurt, all your tears, all your heartbreak and anguish, and He cares so very much for the state of your child and for the state of your heart. In all these things, we are more than conquerors, the New Testament tells us, and in those moments when we, as praying mothers, feel like anything but conquerors, God will do the heavy lifting. It may not feel like you are being protected, like your prayers are being heard, like this storm will ever end and the daylight break through and the sun shine on your child again…it may not feel like it, not one bit, but even so, ...
