Prayer Prompts for Busy Moms

Being a mom is an incredible journey, filled with both immense joy and unexpected challenges. I am blessed with a large family – a mix of biological, adopted, and stepchildren, and some we just call our own. I can confidently say that raising them is the most rewarding and demanding role I’ve ever undertaken.

The love I have for each of my children is profound and unconditional. It’s a love that surpasses any other I’ve experienced. It’s a love that isn’t diminished by their mistakes or shortcomings. Because let’s face it, kids will be kids! They will make messes, they will test boundaries, but through it all, our love remains steadfast and unwavering.

If you’re a mom, you understand the unique blend of exhaustion and exhilaration that comes with this role. You understand the constant juggling act of work, household duties, and the demands of motherhood. And you probably also find yourself wondering, “What should I be praying for my children?”

To help you navigate the joys and challenges of motherhood, I’ve created a set of prayer prompts specifically for busy moms. These prompts are designed to guide you as you seek God’s wisdom and strength for your children:

Comfort: Lord, bring me peace so I can comfort my child. (2 Corinthians 1:3-4)
Patience: Lord, help me stay patient when parenting feels hard. (Proverbs 19:11)
Wisdom: God, guide me in making wise decisions for my child. (Proverbs 3:5-6)
Protection: Father, keep my child safe and close to You. (Psalm 91:11)
Forgiveness: God, help me forgive myself and show grace to my child. (Colossians 3:13)
Strength: Lord, give me the strength to love and lead well. (Philippians 4:13)
Understanding: Help me understand my child’s needs, Lord. (James 1:19)
Positive Influence: Help me be a godly example for my child. (Matthew 5:16)
