a mother's voice


Fern Nichols, founder of Moms In Touch {A non-denominational prayer organization for Mothers who meet weekly to pray for their children, their schools, teachers, peers...etc} has been a guest this week on Focus on the Family. You can listen here. At the end of the discussion, she says just a simple prayer that really touched me. It was just simple, raw, and honest. I want to share it with you because I hope you'll pray this prayer for yourself as a Mother. I know I will!! So I typed it up for us! Anytime you want to read it, go to the bottom of my blog. As encouragement.

A prayer for Mother's from Fern Nichols....

Oh heavenly Father, To think that you long to hear our voice, how you desire to have communication, fellowship with us, is just so humbling, and we are so grateful. And so I pray for all of us, Lord, whatever Satan wants to rob in our joy of knowing you, I just pray that he will not.
And so any Mom out there who's feeling like, you don't care about her prayers because maybe she doesnt feel her life is all just slicked up nice and pretty. Oh Lord, that you would show her that that's truly not You. That's not Your heart, that's the lie of satan. You long to hear her voice. So Father we pray for the whole body of Christ, that we would arise, that you would awaken us out of our slumber of prayerlessness. That our prayers do matter, they make an eternal difference, that it's truly the best ministry we can be a part of. It's a legacy that continues on long after we are dead. So Lord I pray for your whole body, that God the Holy Spirit would speak to us, and that we would step up our praying. That you would take us to a wonderful level of truly knowing that You through our humble little prayer, will do a mighty work. In Jesus Name, Amen.

2 days before the twins arrived....
I am so thankful my Dad took this picture....to remind me what it felt like to hold two precious lives inside of me...

Be encouraged!

Lord fill my heart with Yours
that I may know Your will,
those things that I should act upon
and when you want me still.

Guard my mind from useless thoughts
that clutter, harm, confuse.
Create in me a closeness
that Your course I'll always choose.

Clear my hearing, teach me
to identify the lies,
that I may only hear the truth
of who I am in Christ.

Lord, satisfy and fill me
with Your Spirit from above,
that I may truly know the freedom
of Unfailing Love.

Then planted deeply in that love,
my heart in full surrender,
Lift the veil for all to see,
my life display Your splendor.


Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
