“Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.” Jeremiah 29:12 (NIV)

Country singer Randy Travis has a song called, When Mama Prayed, which remind us about the power of a mother’s prayer. The chorus of this song goes like this, “When mama prayed good things happened; when mama prayed, lives were changed. Not much more than five foot tall, mountains big and small crumbled all away when mama prayed.”

The Bible speaks about the power of prayer and the things that can happen when we seek God for our needs. Prayer is known to be the key to finding solutions to problems and to getting walls to come down.

Each time I listen to this song, I remember the three men who call me mama – my beloved sons. I pray for them and their families daily, and often several times a day. Going before the Lord on my children’s behalf is something that I do not take lightly, as I wish to see them doing well in life.

Through prayer, lives are changed. Through prayer, bodies are healed from disease. Through prayer, relationships are renewed, hatred gives way to love and doors of opportunity are opened. There is no limit to what prayer can do when we place our petitions in God’s hand, submitting our will to His.

Has life handed you a bunch of lemons lately? Are you struggling to find what the path is that you should choose? Has a relationship you cherished gone sour? Do you need a job, a home, or a vehicle? Are you looking at the problem or are you looking at the God who can solve that problem?

Now that I threw so many questions at you to ponder, I invite you to trust God and to bring all those situations before His throne; call out to Him for help. Miracles happen when we pray. Sometimes, all that is lacking is a good talk with our Daddy. Try it!

 “Dear God: Thank You for always hearing our prayers and acting on our behalf.  We are thankful for all that You do.”

For His Glory
