This is a truth God impressed on my heart many years ago, and I think it represents the process of becoming more like Jesus.

Believers must think biblically.
Believers must act biblically.
Believers must replace incorrect beliefs with what the Bible actually says.

But it doesn't happen all at once. This is something we grow into once we make the intellectual, faith-filled decision that God's Word is true. I don't always want to release my long held beliefs to the authority of God's Word, and I don't always understand why the Bible says what it does. I'm 44, was saved when I was 9, began walking closely with the Lord around age 21, and I still have questions...still have a hard time submitting sometimes.

Is it any wonder our kids do? The older mine get, the more I see that the struggle is normal, and that my main job as a parent is to:

1. Model the process of pursuing and growing in my own relationship with Christ in front of them.
2. Pray for God to work in their hearts, and hold on tightly to them no matter what comes.
3. Not get offended when they have big, hairy, hard questions...because if I'm honest, I have some too.
4. Give them the grace and time to grow.

Father, I do believe. Help my unbelief (Mark 9:24). Move in my heart to make space for the Truth, and open my eyes to see when I'm holding on to something that isn't You. Help my children see You at work in me, so they can believe You're at work in them. In Jesus' Name, amen.

💚 Brooke

P.S. Starting 10/3, the Monday Prayer for Moms is going to be available not just here, but also on the @mpm_podcast. I'll be praying it for you and your family to start the week + adding some of my thoughts and commentary on the passage we're praying. 5 minutes. Link to podcast in bio.

Work Hard.

“Whatever you do, do it from the heart, as something done for the Lord and not for people…” (Colossians 3:23).

Stay Humble.

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility consider others as more important than yourselves” (Philippians 2:3).

Say Your Prayers.

“Pray constantly…” (1 Thessalonians 5:17).

Words to live by.

I designed this collection because I wanted to subtly communicate to my children that humility, hard work, and communication with their Father is a sure way to live a life of wisdom. They come as a set of three digital downloads (swipe to see them all). Print them out, frame them, and hang them anywhere in your home.

I hope you love them as much as I do! Click the "Scripture Prints" link in bio to grab yours!

I couldn’t let #nationalsonsday go by without telling you how grateful I am for my two handsome, perfectly imperfect men. When I started doing ministry, they were toddlers. I’ve been having flashbacks of their little faces, and certain things they did and said all day today, and while I LOVE who they are now, I do miss who they were.

Boys, it has been one of my life’s greatest pleasures to walk you through the ups and downs of life and point you to the One Who will never let you go. God used YOU to teach me about Him. I know God more because you drove me to Him 😉 but I’m forever grateful for each and every moment.

I love being your mom every day, and don’t want to miss an opportunity to publicly celebrate all God has done in you both.

My prayer is only that you’ll run after Him no matter what.

💚Mom

If prayer were not action, it would be nothing. It would accomplish nothing. Do nothing. Mean nothing. And be worth nothing.

Why would we pray if prayer isn't doing something? Isn't a verb? At the very least prayer is talking to God, and talking to God is expressing our need, while acknowledging His ability to meet that need. But it's more than that, too. Prayer is partnering with the Creator of the Universe, Whose power and strength and knowledge are so much better than, so very different from our own.

Prayer should precede action, when at all possible.
But prayer by itself is also fully action.
Prayer may not be the only thing God asks us to do.
But prayer by itself is a powerful weapon.

Prayer is not passive.
Prayer is action.

Join Million Praying Moms as we take action for 30 days in October to pray intentionally and purposefully for the hearts of our children. We'll be using our newest prayer journal, Everyday Prayers for the School Year, and we'd love for you to join us. We start October 3rd, so act now by visiting www.millionprayingmoms.com/join-the-fall-2022-edition-of-prayer-club, or by clicking the Prayer Club link in our bio.

Pray.

A MONDAY PRAYER FOR MOMS 💚

Father, as we start a new week, help my children know they have value because they belong to You, not because of their gifts and talents.

In Jesus’ Name, amen.

Are you planning to join us for Prayer Club next month? We’re praying through Everyday Prayers for the School Year, by @taralcole!

Order your copy now, and get ready to join us! Beginning in October, we’ll join together as a community to pray through Everyday Prayers for the School Year, and this time, we’ll have an added action point! Want to know what it is?

We’re calling it, “Just Go in Their Rooms.”

Years ago, when my kids were small, I spent a great deal of time praying for them in their rooms. Over time, as they grew up, I got away from that habit. Recently, I realized just how much I missed the personal touch of praying for my children in their private spaces, so with this upcoming Prayer Club, we’ll be encouraging you to step into your children’s rooms to pray over them using the prayers inside of Everyday Prayers for the School Year.

We literally can’t wait to get started!

Order your copy now wherever books are sold, and get signed up for Prayer Club at the link in our bio!

I want to talk to the moms who feel like they have nothing left to give...the ones who feel like they are coming unglued, unraveled, and have come to the end of themselves.

Is that you, friend?

If so, I have good news. You are in the exact right place.

I'm not kidding, and I don't mean to sound trite or uncaring. You are exactly where you need to be to see the hand of God move. Sometimes we need to get out of the way, and set ourselves—our desires, our plans, even our dreams—aside so that God can reveal to us HIS grand plan.

And I promise, His are always better.

💚Brooke

P.S. When you feel like you're holding on by a thread, let go. God won't. You'll fall safely into His mighty right hand.

Prayer Club.

I'm pumped about it...so we're going to be talking about it a lot here in the next week or so because I DON'T WANT YOU TO MISS OUT!

What is Prayer Club? It's when the #millionprayingmoms community gathers around our latest prayer journal, and prays together for 30 days. Each Prayer Club has a different theme...last time we focused on joy, and this time we're focusing on praying for our school-aged children (even those in college or grad school).

The fall edition of Prayer Club is called Just Go in Their Rooms, and we'll be praying our way through Everyday Prayers for the School Year, by @taralcole. This #prayerclub is special, because for the first time we're encouraging you to go into your child's room to pray each day. There's just something so amazing about laying hands on their bed, or chair, their clothing, or even gaming console, as you ask God to lead, protect, and cover them.

Make plans now to join us beginning October 3rd for Just Go in Their Rooms. All you need to do is purchase your #prayerjournal anywhere books are sold, and then fill out the Prayer Club form. There's a link in our bio that has all the details. Once you're signed up, we'll communicate via email, including sending you the 5-Day Prayer Journaling Jumpstart next week. It's designed to be your prep work, and to put you on the path for success as you prayer journal your way through the following 30 days of prayer!

DON'T MISS THIS! Visit https://www.millionprayingmoms.com/join-the-fall-2022-edition-of-prayer-club/ or hit the link in the bio to get signed up!

Many of our children live with unspoken pain, and while it's almost impossible for loving parents to comprehend, statistics prove that they might seek suicide as an out because they see no other way.

They aren’t selfish. They are hurting deeply.

To combat the pain, they need to feel loved and know they are not alone, but how can we make sure they know these things? How can a parent pray if they suspect their child is considering suicide?

Today, on the #millionprayingmoms blog, @taralcole is sharing her personal story, and what God taught her through her own experience that now makes her more sensitive to her children's needs...and yours. Please take a moment to head over to www.millionprayingmoms.com, or click the "Latest Blog Post" link in our bio.

**If your child is considering suicide, or if you even suspect this to be the case, seek help immediately.

Father, as we start a new week, help my family to place our trust in You. You are our God, and Your strength never fails. Uphold us with Your strong hand.

Desperate circumstances are clear indicators of our need for God. Even those who don’t have a relationship with Jesus cry out to Him when they’re in trouble. But the truth is there’s never a time when we are not desperate for God.

The problem is we don’t know it.

We coast along in life doing things our way, in our own strength, building our own kingdoms, and hoping it will all turn out OK. For the most part, we’re able to function on our own…until we aren’t.

I thank God for using whatever He thought necessary to show me how desperate I was for Him. Just yesterday, I praised Him out loud, in my car, for being with me in a personal, real way, every moment of every day. I love knowing I can talk to Him any time I want to. I love knowing I can ask for wisdom when I need it. I love believing with my whole heart that He is within me, and will help me not to fall...that He will give me what I need if I'll only ask.

My life and relationship with God is so much richer for the deeper prayer life He's given me...

He wants to give it to you, too, friend. If you need help getting started, check out all the resources we have for you at the link in our bio. We're here to hold your hand and help you get started.

Maturing in their faith is the second item on every parent’s prayer list for their child, second only to salvation.

When my children were little, I often found myself wishing away the time, longing for the day when their faith would match mine, and their eyes would be open to see what I could see. It isn’t wrong to want our children to have our perspective, but I had forgotten how long it took me to get there myself! I didn’t understand everything there is to know about God when I was four, or fourteen, twenty-four, or even forty-four. In fact, I’ll leave this world with an incomplete picture of who God is.

So will you. So will our children.

And while we can be sure that the goal really is to grow and mature in Christ, each of us will do it at a different pace. We might not be able to control the pace of the journey God has our children on, but we can pray and ask Him to keep it moving toward Him. Join me in praying God’s powerful Word back to Him on behalf of our children using 30 key verses and passages that speak to maturing in Christ. We'll pray it confidently, and be filled with faith in the God Who is able to mold our children into the men and women He’s called them to be.

NOTE: This product is available in a stand alone digital format for just $7, OR, it's yours as a FREE bonus when you join our Patreon family. Learn about it at the "Topical Prayer Guides" link in bio.

💚 Brooke

P.S. Moms using this guide say:

“These are BEAUTIFUL! Perfect!
“I love this!”
“I am in love with it. I started using it right away. The way you pray inspires me and draws me in.”
“God’s Word spoken back to Him makes the greatest impact!”
“I want more!”

If their knees are ever to bend to Jesus as Savior, their hearts must bend first.

This is the place a mama’s prayers.

I’m convinced that prayer is the missing piece of the puzzle. Parents who pray for their children recognize their own inability to change their children’s hearts, and put their faith and hope in the God who can.

Our best work on our children’s behalf—the MOST important thing we can do for them each and every day—is to wage war on our knees.

It happens to all moms...the realization that our kids are getting older, and that we need to let go.

The fall brings all the new opportunities, new schedules, new schools, different grade levels, new notebooks and books. It can feel as if you have a fresh start when the school year begins. But, if we are being honest with ourselves, this new season can be bittersweet and come with some sadness as well. When our kids begin a new school year it can be another reminder that they are growing up and becoming more independent.

With each step forward they are taking a small step away from us and into what will eventually define their lives.

They’re becoming independent.

How can you have joy in this new season with the realities that are present? Head over to the #millionprayingmoms blog to read what @_ginalsmith_ has to share about choosing joy as we're learning to let go. Visit www.millionprayingmoms or click the blog link in bio.

When was the last time you paused, and just breathed in the reality that God is with you?

He’s available to you right now. Ask for wisdom. Ask for strength. Ask for endurance. Ask Him to help you love.

And then, ask again.

Happy Friday, friends. Have a wonderful weekend knowing God is just a deep breath away.

In my short resource, How to Pray God's Word for Your Children, I walk you step-by-step through the very process I use to search God’s Word for scripture to pray for my own family, and even include several scripture-based prayers for various situations and needs at the end!

You can download your copy of How to Pray God's Word for Your Children FREE when you click the link in bio. Why not grab it right now? I promise, you'll have mastered praying God's Word for YOUR children by the end of the day!

"We think of prayer as preparation for work, or a claim after having done work, ("I prayed!"), whereas prayer is the essential work. It is the supreme activity..." Oswald Chambers

Have you ever considered that prayer isn't just something we do to get ready for a work, or something we say we did after a successful work, but that prayer IS the whole work?

I'll confess...I set aside a good deal of time in the morning to pray for my family. Sometimes it causes me to have less than perfect hair. Other times my makeup isn't just right. More often, my kitchen looks like it exploded...but still...I prioritize prayer. I used to feel guilty about it, thinking, "Ug! There's so much to do! What would people think of me if they see me just sitting here on the couch this long when my house is a mess, my hair isn't done, and I have such a long list of things to accomplish?" I have often felt like I needed to rush my prayers so that I could get on to more important things...or the things that make me look and feel more important.

But I don't feel that way anymore.

Yes, I still have a long to-do list. I always will. But something changed in my heart when I came to the conclusion that praying for my family is the most important work I can do on their behalf. I am working with God in a partnership for their souls, their life's calling, and who they are meant to be. I'm praying God's Word over them, asking God to bring it to fruition in His time. What could possibly be more important than that work?

Nothing.

I believe prayer is the practice of partnering with God to accomplish His will in the lives of His people. I don't know how it works. I don't know why it works. And I don't always know what His will is in each situation. I just know that God calls me to pray. It isn't my job to know why or how. It isn't my job to control or worry. It's just my job to pray. Somehow God uses it.
