Greetings to all my dear mothers, sister and dear ones reading this post!
My sincere
thanks to all, for praying for me, I’m doing well by the grace of God. It’s
only the mercy of God that I’m alive and healthy today. We have to be thankful
to God every day for his mercy. It’s a good thing to do. Dear mothers ‘praying
is so important every day.’
Let’s not
take it for granted.
What we know
is to live the present wholeheartedly believing that God is faithful and we should
be grateful to Him every day. Because God is faithful and he will never let us
down when we fully trust Him. “Prayer does wonders”
I read an
article on prayer: It said “Satan trembles, when he sees the weakest Saint upon
his knees.” ― William Cowper. Because he knows his kingdom is going to be
shaken. The only weapon and a strong weapon that we can use against Satan is
Prayer. I’ve experienced in my life many times not knowing what to do or where
to go, at that point I have experienced my Savior, my Heavenly Father has come
along with me and said “I am with you do not fear.” He set everything in order,
beyond my thinking. That’s what it says in Ephesians 3:20 “Now to Him who is
able to do immeasurably more than we ask or imagine according to His power that
is at work within us.” Yes, dear mothers, that’s the promise, we all can claim
in any situation, He will come and manifest His power. No life has ever been
simple. We are all beset by tragedies. The biggest tragedy in my life which God
allowed was to lose my beloved son. Four years have gone by, the pain of losing
him, still lingers in my heart. It is very hard to not to think of him. He set
a very good example by living as a very obedient and caring son especially His
parents and siblings. Son who loved his parents and honored them to the very
end. Thankful to God, for having given us, such a wonderful son. We are truly
fortunate to have him for 36 yrs. There will be fortuitous movement when God
allows different situations in our life. But He helps us to come to Him all the
time, He is our comforter, so let us not forget our creator but remember Him
and be ever grateful to Him.
I’m deeply
thankful to God for giving me another year in my life. As I turn 68 on 15th Nov
2022. God enabled me to see this day, as you can see a recent picture of me holding my precious grand-daughter. While I was going through my treatment last year I was apprehensive about how things will turn out, but my Heavenly father has a great
plan for me, so He has sustained me, to live for His glory.
Dear friends
never get tired of thanking God and for one another in the family. Many of you have
prayed for me. I am thankful to God for each of you for your valuable prayers
and standing with me in my hard time.
Are you a
Praying Mother!
Today I
would like to highlight few mothers who prayed and received the answers for
their prayers. Are you a Praying Mother! Be assured that God hears our prayers.
Throughout the Bible it’s mentioned that mothers have played a very important
role in raising God fearing children through prayer who made history. We have
to discipline ourselves to pray for our children. That makes a big and great
difference in our children’s life.
A. W. Tozer
says, “when you want to pray, switch off the TV and your mobile, close the door
and be alone with God.” You and God alone and then you will be able to hear His
answer very clearly. In the Bible it is mentioned about prayer 400 times. Not
only does God tell us to pray He also gives us the formula for prayer, straight
from Jesus, why we should pray.
“Because,
Prayer Changes Things.”
When a
mother prays, she literally fortifies the armor of God around on herself, her family,
and anyone else she prays for. This is important because the enemy is around
every corner looking for a way in. Praying mother is important because she
keeps the armor strong even for those who are not saved and may not pray as
much.
After I
surrendered my life to God, I didn’t have much time to read the Bible or even
to pray, because I was taking care of my children, every mom knows how life is
with little babies and toddlers at home. My quiet time was, when everyone sleeps,
in the middle of the night I would kneel down and pray for my children. That
was the time and place to meet with my God and get to know Him. The more I got
to know Him, the more I trusted Him, believing He would move and answer. Boldly
I can say He has answered all my prayers. He changed things and situations I’ve
experienced it, because my eyes were fixed on him. Isaiah 26:3 “because we
trust in God (our eyes are fixed on God
He will keep
us in perfect peace.” Prayer is a secret act. I’ve prayed much for my children name
by name every day and in the nights, asking God to give them the fear of God in
their early age. God answered and helped them to grow in obedient to God and
us, so all glory to God alone, It’s not us it’s God who has done a work in
them, we should never stop praying for our children at any cost, Jesus told one
last word before going to the cross, looked at the mothers He said don’t weep
for me weep for your children. So dear mothers we have to weep and pray for our
children, that they will be protected from this evil world and live a Godly
life.
Mothers from
the Bible:
Let’s
meditate on few mothers who prayed and the world changed. Jochebed, whom I like
most is, the mother of Moses and Aaron. She is one who exemplifies the faith of
a mother. Not only we see the result of her prayer life in that God saved her
son from certain death- when we pray God did delivers our children from fatal
occidental, sickness etc. But we know that all her children became great faith
leaders in Israel, her prayer life surely fueled theirs and God helped them to
create history in those days. Jochebed is the great praying mother.
Then we know
Hannah, I would venture a guess that every time you find a faithful man/woman
in the world, had a praying mother. Hannah far outshines all of us. Her
selflessness in prayer and sacrifice in sending Samuel to the temple to be
raised up as a priest changed the history of Israel. All of which started with
a prayer of a desperate mother.
My favorite
mother in the Bible is “The Canaanite mother.” Mathew tells of an interesting woman
who spoke to Jesus, face to face. The Bible doesn’t mention her name but her
story is given in the Bible. She had faith enough to beg the mercy of God for
her daughter. We have to do for our children every day. I’ve done almost every
day asked God’s mercy over my children, now I beg for mercy for my
grandchildren, because the present world is very evil, so I ask the Lord to
preserve them from the influences of this world, it is very important. This Canaanite
woman saw the miracle of God’s son Jesus, we can assume her faith grew more and
she became more devoted. We have to see and experience the move of God in our children’s
life, as it becomes a deep desire to see it again and again. I have seen answer
to prayers as God worked in my children, and I give all the glory to God, God
blesses them and their family.
Conclusion:
Let me
conclude this article by adding a small story about how we miss out our birth
right by believing a lie instead of the Truth. There was a Lion which was
transported to a super power country from a small country, after reaching that
big country Lion was put in a cage, the caretaker came to give food for all the
animals, as he came to this Lion’s cage he threw some carrots and beet roots
inside. This Lion got very angry and said, you know in my country I was the
king of the jungle, and I was given all kinds of best meat. This caretaker said,
I’ll tell you the truth, you didn’t come in your original passport, you’ve been
sent herewith a monkey’s passport, so today you manage it, and tomorrow I’ll
give you your meat.
Yes, dear
mothers we’ve been robbed of our birth rights, we believe Satan’s lie rather
than God’s real Truth.
1 Peter 2:9
says, “But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people
belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of
darkness into his wonderful light.” Many of us believe Satan’s big lie,
thinking we belongs to this world, we are nobody etc., But the Bible says, we are
a royal priesthood and we don’t belong to this world, our citizenship is in
heaven. Let’s believe this, as we come to the end of this year, we should not
lose faith, our Heavenly Father says “Nothing is impossible with me; all things
are possible. With this verse in our hearts we’ll move on to the next year.
There’s a
chorus which we used teach our children when they were very small,
My God is so
big and strong so mighty
there’s
nothing my God cannot do.
God bless you and Have a wonderful day !
