A Prayer to Have Patience with Your Children by Brooke McGlothlin

Before motherhood, it’s easy to believe we have our emotions under control—until the right circumstances reveal what’s really in our hearts. In this episode, we explore how parenting can expose our desire for control and how God invites us to a better way. True power isn’t found in dominance or perfection, but in patience, surrender, and dependence on God’s strength.

Reference: Proverbs 16:32

Prayer: Father, help me make good use of the tools you've made available to me to be for those I love most. In Jesus' name, amen.

A Prayer for Wise Friends by Tara L. Cole

In today's episode we look at 1 Kings 12 and see what happens when unwise counsel is followed—and the lasting consequences that can result. This conversation encourages parents to be intentional about helping their children surround themselves with wise, God-honoring friends who will point them toward truth during critical moments.

Reference: Proverbs 13:20

Prayer: Lord, may our children walk with wise friends and become wise.

A Prayer for the Courage to Follow God's Leading by April Graney

What does it look like to obey God when the path ahead is unclear? In this episode, we reflect on Abraham’s faith-filled obedience and connect it to a modern-day story of trusting God’s leading—even when it doesn’t make sense at first.

Through a personal testimony of a daughter and son-in-law stepping into missionary work in Guatemala, we are reminded that obedience often requires courage, surrender, and trust. God’s call may not come with all the details, but His presence always goes with us.

Reference: Hebrews 11:8

Prayer: Heavenly Father, I pray for the courage to listen for your voice and to obey the callings that you place on our lives. May we also support and encourage that calling in our children’s lives. We release our children into your loving hands, and pray your blessing upon them and those they touch with your love and grace. Amen.

A Prayer to for the Weary Mama by Karolyn Roberts

Motherhood has a way of wearing us down—emotionally, physically, and spiritually. In today’s episode by Karolyne Roberts, we explore how choosing joy, even in exhausting and unexpected moments, can bring peace to our weary souls. When stress tempts us to react in frustration, God gently invites us to slow down, laugh a little, and rest in His goodness.

Reference: Matthew 11:28

Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, we come before you today carrying the weight of motherhood, the beautiful, exhausting, overwhelming calling you've placed on our hearts. And we confess that sometimes we're so weary that we forget to choose joy, so overwhelmed that we react from stress instead of responding from your peace. Lord, help us to remember that even in our chaos, you are still good and your love for us never wavers.Give us the grace to laugh at the unexpected moments and to respond with patience when our plans fall apart and to model your unconditional love to our children. When we're tempted to be too hard on ourselves or our families, remind us to slow down and cast our burdens on you. Lord, we ask you to fill our homes with laughter, grace, and the beautiful truth that we are loved not because of our performance, but simply because we are yours. Thank you, Lord, for the gift of rest that comes from knowing we are held by you, even in our imperfection. In Jesus' name, amen.

A Prayer to Remember by Nicolet Bell

Our role are mothers—not as rescuers, but as guides who consistently point our children back to the One who has already provided the ultimate rescue. In today's episode, we reflect on Hosea 13:6 and explore how creating intentional rhythms in our homes helps store God’s Word in our children’s hearts so the Holy Spirit can bring it to mind when they need it most.

Reference: Hosea 13:6

Prayer:Father, help me to help my children to remember you. Help me to find little ways to teach them to think about you again and again. I don’t want it to be said about my family that we forgot you. I thank you that one of the Holy Spirit’s roles is “rememberer”. We need your help and you give us the help that we need. We thank you for that!

A Prayer for the Kitchen Table by Emily Wierenga

There is a table that holds the world together.In this, we linger at that sacred place—the table where crumbs fall into cracks, where children chew on wooden legs, where laughter and grief share the same surface.

The table where we become human… and where Christ chose to meet us.Scripture reveals a God who does not merely invite us to bring our offering—but to sit, eat, and be fed by Him.We reflect on the kitchen tables of our own lives—the places where real talk happens, where joy finally feels safe enough to laugh, where sadness is welcomed because love is present. This is where God meets us in all our mess, soup on our chins and cracks in our souls, and says, Eat. Drink. Remember Me.

Reference: Matthew 3:16

Prayer: Lord, You who are the triune God, thank You for serving me. Thank You for loving me. I long to sit with You and stare into You and know You, forever. Talk with me, laugh with me, and eat with me. I love You.

A Prayer for When Things Feel Hard by Shalene Roberts

Motherhood is a beautiful calling—but it is also deeply challenging. In this episode we step into an honest moment from the trenches of parenting littles: the exhaustion, the guilt after a hard night, and the weight of feeling like we’ve fallen short. Through Jesus’ words in John 16:33, we are reminded that hardship is not a sign of failure—it’s part of living in a broken world.We cannot love, lead, forgive, or extend grace to our children through sheer willpower. Instead, we are invited to trust the One who has already overcome the world.

Reference: John 16:33

Prayer: Dear God, some days can feel overwhelmingly difficult. Whether it’s relationship conflict, financial stress, health concerns, or a plethora of other worries that can consume us, this life can feel really heavy at times. When we’re in the midst of a hardship, help us to remember to take heart because you have overcome the world.

A Prayer for Household Harmony by Danika Cooley

A home grounded in God’s Word becomes a place where peace can grow. Even when emotions run high or relationships feel strained, Jesus remains the steady rhythm that holds everything together.In today's episode, we look at Romans 15 and it reminds us that Scripture was written to instruct, encourage, and help us endure. God Himself is the source of harmony, and when our lives align with the teachings of Jesus, our voices—though different—can glorify Him together.

Reference: Romans 15:5-6

Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank you for the endurance and encouragement you offer us in your Word. As we walk with you, please help our home to be a house of peace because we know you and we know your Word. I ask that you equip us to live in harmony with each other. Help our family glorify Jesus both at home and in public. Let our testimony as Christ-followers be tangible to all who meet us.
