Do you find it hard to keep your mind on Christ when the world around you seems to be closing in? God wants our whole hearts, not because He's selfish or thinks He's so much better, but because He knows what's awaits us when we faithfully look to Him. Do you find yourself focusing on everything except Jesus throughout your day? This episode is for you.

Today, Connie Albers is teaching us exactly what God's way looks like. If you're wondered how to love your children effectively... If you aren't sure what biblical love really is...

Do you ever look at someone and think they must be much farther along than you are? I do that often on social media, but I'm learning that we all stand on level ground. We all need the wisdom of God. If I have not been at the feet of Jesus, seeking him in his word and asking him for wisdom, I have very little to offer anyone. ~ Gina Smith If we want to have something to offer others, to be tuned in to the Holy Spirit, and given direction for our lives, we need to seek wisdom in every and any way we can.

When faced with a dilemma that requires careful handling and wisdom, do we cast about for a solution within our own ability? Or do we immediately acknowledge we don't have the answer, and call on the one who is wisdom from the beginning? I couldn't dream up half the parenting situations I find myself in. I don't mean simply discipline wise. Even when it comes to guiding and instructing my children, I often find myself in a fuddle. Second guessing my decisions. Reacting instinctively instead of responding with a grace filled answer. It's becoming clear as I grow into my parenting: I do not hold the answers to these situations. ~ Julie Kieras Check out this episode of Everyday Prayers with Million Praying Moms based on Daniel 5:12 to learn how you can begin to ask God for the wisdom you need for your family!  WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT Everyday Prayers with Million Praying Moms has grown to the point that we desperately need to hire part-time help.

Only one out of twenty Christians have family worship together. Does your family? "Mom, Dad," he said, "don't ever stop reading the Bible to my siblings." He went on to explain that a few of his Christian friends at college were able to examine things by the word of God. Although most were raised in Christian families, they were mostly clueless about scripture. ~ Melanie Young Check out this episode of Everyday Prayers with Million Praying Moms based on Proverbs 6:20-23 to learn how you can begin to ask God for the wisdom you need for your family!

Why do we so easily forget that his presence has the power to destroy doubt and give us power over our problems? It is easier to trust when we seem to have nothing to fear. When I spend time talking to my kids about the presence of the Lord in their lives, I find myself pointing them to things around them that they can see, hold, and be aware of to help them grasp the truth of his presence everywhere and at all times. But fear frequently blinds us to the presence of the Lord. ~ September McCarthy Check out this episode of Everyday Prayers with Million Praying Moms based on Matthew 31-32 to learn how you can begin to ask God for the wisdom you need for your family!

Can we stand firm in the face of flattery and corruption? Flattery can mesmerize us. It tells us what we want to hear, and it’s certainly easier to listen to than criticism. Flattery shows favor and approval, something we all long for. In today's scripture, a prophecy from the book of Daniel, we see the foretelling of a king who will rise and fall and, through flattery and favor, cause many to fall with him. Thankfully, scripture tells us that some–those who know their God–would firmly resist this corrupt leader. ~ Laura Lee Groves Check out this episode of Everyday Prayers with Million Praying Moms based on Daniel 11:32 to learn how you can begin to ask God for the wisdom you need for your family!

Have you believed the lie that you have to be enough? That you carry the full weight of the way your children will turn out? How many times a day do you catch yourself thinking about what a failure you are, or how your one big mess-up will probably land that child who watches everything you do straight in the counseling chair a bit later in life? If you do find yourself doing this a lot, you're placing your hope in the wrong person, you. ~ Brooke McGlothlin Check out this episode of Everyday Prayers with Million Praying Moms based on 1 Timothy 4:10 to learn how you can begin to ask God for the wisdom you need for your family!  WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT Everyday Prayers with Million Praying Moms has grown to the point that we desperately need to hire part-time help.

Do you struggle with humility? Maybe, like me, you are uncomfortable feeling dependent. Humility is the default mode in God's Kingdom. Beginning with the moment we come to him through faith by grace, and nothing we do, we humble ourselves (Ephesians 2:8-9).  But as we embrace a Christ like humility and allow the Holy Spirit to weed out our pride, we can expect to see powerful results. ~ Suzanne Gosselin Check out this episode of Everyday Prayers with Million Praying Moms based on Matthew 18:3-4 to learn how you can begin to ask God for the wisdom you need for your family!  WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT Everyday Prayers with Million Praying Moms has grown to the point that we desperately need to hire part-time help.

“Rather train yourself for godliness; For while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come" (1 Timothy 4:8). Somewhere along the way, the Christian life gained a reputation for being shiny, easy, and perfect. “If you just give your life to Jesus, everything will magically fall into place,” people say. You may see someone who has peace in all situations or seems to have the perfect quiet time every single day or is always joyfully serving everyone around her, and think, "wow, it comes so easily to them. Why isn't it easy for me? I'm doing it all wrong." ~ Erin Mohring Have you wondered why things seem to come so easily to others, but not to you?

“Therefore, preparing your minds for action, and being sober-minded, set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ" (1 Peter 2:24-25). We know the story from beginning to end. We know Christ has promised to come back. We can wait with anticipation for his return. God is working in us and through us to make us more like Christ. We will have different priorities, different habits, and different goals. But we will still fall short, and sometimes, lose hope. ~ Sandra Peoples Have you lost hope in the power of Jesus in your life? In your children's lives?

“I turned my heart to know and to search out and to seek wisdom and the scheme of things, and to know the wickedness of folly and the foolishness that is madness" (Ecclesiastes 7:25). When I consider the idea of turning our hearts to wisdom, I imagine setting off on a treasure hunt with wisdom as the prize. In Ecclesiastes, we are told that Solomon turned his heart to know wisdom, to search it out and to seek it. What if we sought wisdom as diligently as treasure hunters search for buried treasure? ~ Becky Daye What would change in your life if you pursued wisdom as passionately as a child searching for buried treasure?

“Be not rash with your mouth, nor let your heart be hasty to utter a word before God, for God is in heaven and you are on earth. Therefore let your words be few" (Ecclesiastes 5:2).

“Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you; Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid" (John 14:27).

"...but Daniel resolved not to defile himself with the royal food and wine, and he asked the chief official for permission not to defile himself this way" (Daniel 1:8).

“Even a child makes himself known by his acts, by whether his conduct is pure and upright" (Proverbs 20:11). The best tool for teaching a child is God's work in us. They watch as we work and listen as we speak. They see as we feel and hear us respond. They take note how we serve and tune into our tone.

“Nebuchadnezzar then approached the opening of the blazing furnace and shouted, ‘Shadrack, Meshach, and Abednego, servants of the Most High God, come out! Come here!’ So Shadrack Meshach and Abednego came out of the fire, and the satraps, prefects, and governors and royal advisers crowded around them. They saw that the fire had not harmed their bodies, nor was a hair of their heads singed; Their robes were not scorched, and there was no smell of fire on them" (Daniel 3:26-27). Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego spent time with God daily—giving him glory, seeking his face, and openly proclaiming their devotion to him. When the time for the furnace came, those who had seen and heard their witness could not discount the source of their very lives: the Most High God. ~ Laura Lee Groves Do you struggle to make choices in the hard times of life that prove God is faithful to those around you?

“And one of the scribes came up and heard them disputing with one another, and seeing that he answered them well, asked him, ‘Which commandment is the most important of all?’ Jesus answered, ‘The most important is, ‘Hear, O Israel: the Lord our God, the Lord is one. And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength'" (Mark 12:28-30). All God has really asked of us is for us to love him with everything we have—heart, body, soul, strength. Everything goes back to that love. It really is as simple as it seems.

You've probably seen the meme that says, “I love Jesus and I cuss a little!” It's meant to be funny, but is it funny when held up to the measuring stick of God's word? The words that we choose to speak reflect what is in our hearts. Just choosing to eliminate words from our vocabulary is not the answer. We need to evaluate and find out why those words are a part of our vocabulary in the first place. ~ Gina Smith Do you question whether or not God cares about the words you choose to use?

“But the Lord answered her, ‘Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things, but one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her’” (Luke 10:41-42). Most of my life, especially since becoming a mom, I have been in what feels like a constant rotation of busyness, overwhelm, anxiety, and frustration over all there is to do. Marthas, like myself, like to push back against the idea of resting because someone has to do it all.

“And they went and woke him, saying, ‘Save us, Lord; We are perishing.’ And he said to them, ‘why are you afraid, O you of little faith?’ Then he rose and rebuked to the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm period and the men marveled, saying, ‘What sort of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him'" (Matthew 8:25-27). I need to remember daily that I cannot save myself. I do not have that authority or power. But thankfully I know the one who does. No matter the storm life throws at me, I can do as Habakkuk did in Habakkuk 3:17-19 and take a position that no matter what storms might come, “I will rejoice in the Lord; I will take joy in the God of my salvation. God, the Lord, is my strength.” ~ Erin H. Warren Is there an area of your life where you struggle to trust in his power and authority?

“This charge I entrust to you, Timothy, my child, in accordance with the prophecies previously made about you, that by them you may wage the good warfare, holding faith and a good conscience. By rejecting this, some have made shipwreck of their faith" (1 Timothy 1:18-19). We may not know why bad things happen to us, but it's important to stay true to our faith through it all. We must trust that the Lord has his reasons for allowing things to happen to us. Sometimes, God has a lesson to teach us or to teach others through us. Regardless of his reasons, we can always rest in the knowledge that the Lord is in control. ~ Connie Albers Have you struggled to live out your faith when you don't understand what God's doing?

“Then Daniel went to his house and informed his friends, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, about the matter. So that they might request compassion from the God of heaven concerning this mystery, so that Daniel and his friends would not be destroyed with the rest of the wise men of Babylon" (Daniel 2:17-18). Over the years, having a group of friends I know will actually pray when I ask for help, who have supported me, encouraged me, corrected me, and poured life into me in the name of Jesus—has blessed me beyond measure. Those are the kind of friends I beg God to give my children.  The kind who will do anything to get them to Jesus. ~ Brooke McGlothlin Are you concerned about the influence of friends in your child's life?

“And as Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the servant girls of the high priest came, and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked at him and said, ‘You also were with the Nazarene, Jesus.’ But he denied it, saying, ‘I neither know nor understand what you mean.’ And he went out into the gateway and the rooster crowed'" (Mark 14:66-68).

“But Mary treasured up all these things, pondering them in her heart" (Luke 2:19). Mary the mother of Jesus, began to store up her experiences with Christ and ponder them in her heart long before she knew what he would do for the world.

“For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life" (John 3:16). John 3:16 is probably the most well known bible verse of all time. Children memorize it. Street corner preachers put it on signs. Quarterbacks write it on their eye black. Most of us can easily rattle it off without giving much thought to its meaning. God loved us so much that he was willing to make the ultimate sacrifice to save us from death and give us eternal life. A Christian friend once told me that motherhood is a season of sacrifice. As moms, we set aside many of our own desires to nurture and care for our children. But the sacrifices I make pale in comparison to the sacrifice my savior made for me. ~Suzanne Gosselin Tune in now to listen to today's entire devotion and start your day off praying God's Word for your family!

“Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, ‘Who do people say that the son of man is?’ And they said, ‘Some say John the Baptist, others say Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.’ He said to them, ‘But who do you say that I am?’ Simon Peter replied, ‘You are Christ, the son of the living God.’ And Jesus answered him, ‘Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven'" (Matthew 16:13-17). In order for us to be a living testimony, one that will point others to the character of our father, we must get to know him by immersing ourselves in his word. The Bible is not a book about us, and it is not a book of answers and applications for us to read and apply to our personal problems. It is a book about God, his character, and how he works in the lives of his people. ~Gina Smith Tune in now to listen to today's entire devotion and start your day off praying God's Word for your family!

"Have mercy on me, O God, according to your steadfast love; according to your abundant mercy blot out my transgressions. Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin" (Psalm 51:1-2)! On the cross, Christ absorbed all the sin of the world into his own body. Like a sponge, he soaked in every iniquity from time past to time future. As a covering, Christ stands between US and God, so God no longer sees our sins, but only Jesus. Our sins are covered, blotted out. Washed away. ~Julie Kieras Tune in now to listen to today's entire devotion and start your day off praying God's Word for your family!

“But you, O Lord, are a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter of my head" (Psalm 3:3). In a time of danger, David believed in the power and desire of God to be the shield he desperately needed. The opposition said, “there is no salvation for him in God,” but God's peace proved them wrong. How have you experienced unfairness or disgrace? What would you say to God the shield if you confided your need for protection to him? What would it take for you to lay down and rest in total peace? ~Julie Sanders Tune in now to listen to today's entire devotion and start your day off praying God's Word for your family!

"Whoever is slow to anger has great understanding, but he who has a hasty temper exalts folly" (Proverbs 14:29). The anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God. It doesn't even produce godliness in our kids. In fact, this week's passage tells us that when we rush to anger, we are exalting foolishness. Uggg. You know what it looks like. You've got a busy day planned, but if everything goes right, you can get it done. Your 11-year-old picks just that time to have one of those preteen meltdowns. He or she starts throwing around accusations. "You don't love me. You don't care about me. You don't understand me!" It's hard not to lose your temper. ~Melanie Young Tune in now to listen to today's entire devotion and start your day off praying God's Word for your family!

"The Lord is my shepherd. I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters" (Psalm 23:1-2). As a mama investing daily into her children, I grow weary and worried in the journey. I watch my children making choices and know that although I can lead them in the way they should go, it's only the Good Shepherd who can care for them when they get stuck or need comfort I can't give. There is no pretending that we ourselves are prone to wonder and forget to rest when everything the world has to offer distracts us. Jesus, our Good Shepherd, will take our hand and lead us to the quiet places. It's here we can release our cares and find comfort and rest in his promises. ~September McCarthy Tune in now to listen to today's entire devotion and start your day off praying God's Word for your family!

"Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment" (1 Timothy 6:17). How can we live in this world but never lose sight of God as our provider? How might we teach our children to do the same? Even the wealthiest men in the world are not satisfied by their mansions, fancy cars, or the security of having billions in a bank account. In fact, many of the wealthiest men ultimately found themselves lonely, miserable, and broken. ~Monica Swanson Tune in now to listen to today's entire devotion and start your day off praying God's Word for your family!

"...and they were all amazed so that they questioned among themselves saying, 'What is this? A new teaching with authority. He commands even the unclean spirits and they obey him'" (Mark 1:27). When was the last time you were amazed? Truly, think about it. It's tricky isn't it? I know I've been amazed by how quickly my house can get messy or how the dryer shrinks my jeans. I've been amazed by the resources it takes to keep a family thriving or amazed by how long it takes to get through a grocery store checkout. But it's possible I have weakened a bit of the word’s intended potency. In the casualness of our language, the contorting and comfortability that perhaps changes with time and culture, we lose something, don't we? That's a risk, a loss. But we lose something far greater when, with the complacency of our words, we water down our understanding of the power of Jesus Christ. ~Katie Westenberg Tune in now to listen to today's entire devotion and start your day off praying God's Word for your family!

"Therefore I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven, that's why she loved so much. But the one who is forgiven little loves little" (Luke 7:47). Whether you grew up in the church or not, we all have been forgiven much. Verses like Galatians 5:16-21 make it pretty clear that God sees sexual immorality, drunkenness, jealousy, and selfish ambition as all the same. Though we see some sin as “big sin” and others as “little” God doesn’t. They all sent his Son to the cross, and Jesus died for each and every one. Wherever you are today in your walk with God, let that thought sink in. ~Tara L Cole Tune in now to listen to today's entire devotion and start your day off praying God's Word for your family!

“But just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, so we speak, not to please man, but to please God who tests our hearts" (1 Thessalonians 2:4). When our eyes are heavenward, we can trust and rest in God's goodness despite our circumstances. We can know God's ways will prevail, not man's. We can be assured he is using our circumstances for our good, but most of all, for his glory—and that's what living to please God is about. ~Laura Lee Groves Tune in now to listen to today's entire devotion and start your day off praying God's Word for your family!

“But I have trusted in your steadfast love; My heart shall rejoice in your salvation. I will sing to the Lord, because he has dealt bountifully with me" (Psalm 13:5-6). When my day is falling apart, how do I respond? David began Psalm 40 with a simple statement, “I wait patiently for the Lord.” Far too often I've failed to wait for the Lord. I'm impatiently trying to figure out how to salvage my plan or getting frustrated with whomever it seems has interfered with the way I intended my day to proceed. ~Teri Lynne Underwood Tune in now to listen to today's entire devotion and start your day off praying God's Word for your family!

“Wisdom is good with an inheritance, an advantage to those who see the sun. For the protection of wisdom is like the protection of money, and the advantage of knowledge is that wisdom preserves the life of him who has it" (Ecclesiastes 7:11-12). The Hebrew word for wisdom is, “chokmah,” and is used 145 times in the Old Testament. It means skill in war, administration, shrewdness, prudence in religious affairs, wisdom both ethical and religious. It carries with it an implication that leads to action. Chokmah impacts our decisions and how we serve God. There is also a God-given natural flow of chokmah that brings with it profit, protection, and preservation. ~Stacey Thacker Tune in now to listen to today's entire devotion and start your day off praying God's Word for your family!

“And the king spoke with them, and among all of them none was found like Daniel, Hananiah, Michael, and Azariah. Therefore, they stood before the king" (Daniel 1:19). When we feel that we are different and loved beyond measure by God it is incredible, but it also calls us to do difficult things—to uphold integrity, to be truth tellers, to swim against the current. The world will be pulling at us to fall in line and follow suit. We are asked to stand up and stand alone—to not let the world change us but to change the world around us. It requires strength and vision beyond our own and a deep, unshakable faith. ~Michelle Krol Tune in now to listen to today's entire devotion and start your day off praying God's Word for your family!

“For you are my rock and my fortress; And for your name's sake you lead me and guide me" (Psalm 31:3). When you are going through difficulty do you cry out to God? He promises to lead us and guide us because he is our rock, our fortress and our strength. When we are experiencing difficulty and simultaneously fully relying on God, then the difficulty doesn't stay with us. It isn't ours to fix or to handle. We take it in and pour it out on our Savior, and he takes it all on himself. ~Becky Daye Tune in now to listen to today's entire devotion and start your day off praying God's Word for your family!

“He who loves purity of heart, and whose speech is gracious, will have the king as his friend" (Proverbs 22:11). Are there lies your children believe about themselves that you can help them combat with the truth of scripture? What about in your own life? We can keep our hearts pure by asking the Holy Spirit to remind us of the truths we've learned from God's Word. ~Sandra Peoples Tune in now to listen to today's entire devotion and start your day off praying God's Word for your family!

“Whoever is slow to anger has great understanding, but he who has a hasty temper exalts folly" (Proverbs 14:29). Only you and I can control what comes out of our mouths, but once it is out in the world, who knows what will happen with it? This is a strong caution for me as I tend to let my words flow with less thought than they require. As a verbal processor, I tend to say lots of things without thinking, so I need the reminders God places throughout his word about the power of our words. ~Erin Mohring Tune in now to listen to today's entire devotion and start your day off praying God's Word for your family!

"If your boss is angry at you, don't quit. A quiet spirit can overcome even great mistakes" (Ecclesiastes 10:4). We can be offended, or we can yield and humbly submit to what doing things God's way. Refusing to give in to pride, even when our circumstances are decidedly difficult. It's never easy to take the lower place, but ultimately it's the best place. And Jesus, as he washed the disciples feet showed us the way to do it: do the opposite of what the enemy is tempting you to do. ~Kate Battistelli Tune in now to listen to today's entire devotion and start your day off praying God's Word for your family!

"Every word of God proves true. He is a shield to those who take refuge in him" (Proverbs 30:5). The enemy will always try to get us to believe things that aren't true. He's the father of lies. All he does is lie. And his mission is to destroy us. I've learned over the years to replace his whispers with shouts of truth, just as Jesus did when Satan tried to tempt him. Instead of being overcome with fear, we can remember that we don't have to be strong because Christ is our strength. He can do all things so we can trust in him. ~Brooke McGlothlin Tune in now to listen to today's entire devotion and start your day off praying God's Word for your family!

When a police officer was shot and killed a few years ago on the campus of Virginia Tech, where I went to school, we baked cookies and made cards for each batch that read, "Thank you for protecting me," and we snuck around after dark delivering them to all of the police officers we could think of who lived near our home. Our boys thought they were superheroes sleuthing around the neighborhood, and the way I see it, they were superheroes, serving true heroes who give up so much to keep us safe. We don't have to serve others, but Jesus did. And he said, if we want to be first, we'll need to be last. ~ Brooke McGlothlin LINKS: Get this month's devotions and prayers in written form + a monthly prayer calendar based on this season's prayers!

As moms, the most important prayer we utter is for our children to be saved. Of all the things we pray for our girls, our most desperate and urgent pleas are for her to be saved. Everything else paled in comparison to that request. All the prayers we utter for their identity and hearts and minds and relationships begin in the hope of salvation. Our daughters can only walk in the fullness of their identity in Christ when they belong to Him. Their hearts and minds can be rooted in and guided by Him when they have experienced salvation through Him.  The way they relate to others can truly reflect the character of Christ only if they are being conformed to him. ~Teri Lynne Underwood LINKS: Get this month's devotions and prayers in written form + a monthly prayer calendar based on this season's prayers!

There are only two types of men to choose from, wise or foolish. The foolish man says in his heart that there is no God and acts like a law unto himself. He only cares about what's best for himself, looks out for number one, and serves his own needs first all the days of his life. The wise man fears and obeys God and has security and the blessings of a loving God and all the power of heaven on his side. With God's help, our sons can submit their lives and hearts to him and choose to follow the path of wisdom.

There is a peace we can't manufacture on our own. If we want to experience true peace, we must be fully aware that we cannot do anything to create or sustain it. We must continually lay our thoughts and concerns down before the Lord. The key to experiencing the peace of God is understanding that it can only come from God. This is an important truth we need to teach our girls.  ~Teri Lynne Underwood LINKS: Get this month's devotions and prayers in written form + a monthly prayer calendar based on this season's prayers!

If you're anything like me, you dream of your son becoming a mighty man of God—a man of integrity, a man of principle, a man who loves Jesus. You dare to hope that when the day of temptation comes, he will stand strong and fight for truth. That's the greatest desire of your heart. But I'm guessing you have no idea how to make it happen?  Me neither. But I do know this: The best parenting in the world cannot make this dream come true. The only way our boys will turn into these kind of men is for God to work in their hearts...and that's the place of a mama's prayers. ~ Brooke McGlothlin LINKS: Get this month's devotions and prayers in written form + a monthly prayer calendar based on this season's prayers!

Let's face it, there's a little discontentment in all of us. If we have straight hair, you wish it were curly. If you're short, you wish you were tall. The list can go on forever. Being content doesn't come naturally for us. Consider Adam and Eve. They had it all. Their life was really perfect. Yet all it took was the implication by the serpent that they were missing out on something and suddenly everything they had paled in comparison with what they didn't. They believed the enemy's lie that God didn't have their best interest in mind...that what they had been given wasn't enough.  We must teach our girls that everything they have is due to God's goodness, not their worthiness or accomplishments. ~Teri Lynne Underwood LINKS: Get this month's devotions and prayers in written form + a monthly prayer calendar based on this season's prayers!
