At the heart of a thriving mother is a woman who is both ready and willing to pray to God. She recognizes that on her own, she cannot make it.
Samuel called God “Ebenezer” when God thundered to help Israel against the Philistines. This story is found in 1 Samuel 7:7-11.
Hannah, the mother of Prophet Samuel, started her journey into motherhood with prayer. I believe she continued in prayer until a prophet was raised for the nation of Israel.
No matter where you are currently on your motherhood journey, you need to pray. Prayer means asking for help from God.
Every mother needs God’s help on the journey of motherhood. That means it is important and paramount for every mother to:
- Depend on God
- Believe that God is willing and able to help
- Come to Him boldly
Let’s look at each of these points a little more closely.
Depend on God
David was a little shepherd boy, but he learned to depend on God. The book of Psalms is filled with many of his songs and heartfelt cries to God. In Psalm 22, David cried to the Lord:
“I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art my God from my mother’s belly. Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help.” (Psalm 22:10-11)
He depended totally on God, and God did not fail him.
Believe that God is Willing and Able
In Hebrews 11:6, the Bible says, “…for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” Do you believe that God is able? Do you believe that He is willing to help you, Thriving mother?
Come Before Him Boldly
Lastly, we ought to come before Him boldly.
“Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.” (Hebrews 4:16 KJV)
Come boldly, for your father and my father is dependable, willing, and able to help you through the hurdles of life as a mother.
