A Prayer to Let Jesus Lead by Katie J. TrentWhat is the significance of the Christmas star? In today's episode, we learn how the star points us to the greater truth of Jesus’ guidance in our lives. Just as the star led the Magi on their long journey to find the newborn Messiah, Jesus promises to lead and direct us as we trust Him.We reflect on how stars fill our homes and holiday traditions—tree toppers, decorations, and even cookie cutters—reminding us of the light that guided wise men to Jesus. Yet Scripture tells us something even more astounding: God not only created the stars but counts and names them (Psalm 147). If He knows every star, how much more does He care about us? Reference: Matthew 2:9-10 Prayer: Jesus, we choose to trust in You and ask You to lead and guide us all the days of our lives, just like You led the magi. Help us not to lean on our own understanding, but to seek Your will and Your wisdom in all we do. And let us become an example for our children so that they will allow You to lead them all the days of their lives as well. Amen.

A Prayer for Gratitude That Comes from Within by Amanda Luedeke  Happy Thanksgiving! In today's episode by Amanda Luedeke, we explore a deeper, richer understanding of gratitude—one that goes beyond simply listing what we’re thankful for. While naming our blessings is meaningful, Scripture invites us to view gratitude not just as a response to good things, but as a way of living, even in the midst of trials, stress, or chaos.Thankfulness is not something that merely happens to us when life is going well. Instead, it’s a posture we choose, a spiritual discipline that shapes our hearts, forms our children, and aligns our lives with God’s will. Reference: 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18 Prayer: God, in the midst of all that is around me, I pause to turn my attention to You. I know that none of the things in my life need to change for me to experience lightness and joy and thanksgiving right now. Your presence changes all of it. You allow my chaotic reality to become a quiet refuge. Open my heart and eyes to the gifts right in front of me. Amen.

A Prayer to Remember to Give Thanks There is a powerful connection between gratitude and peace.In today's episode by Tara L. Cole, she reminds us that when anxiety rises, scripture invites us to turn our attention to God through prayer with thanksgiving. Gratitude shifts our focus from ourselves to the One who is truly in control, reminding us of His past faithfulness and giving us hope for what’s ahead. Reference: Philippians 4:6-7 Prayer: Father, please calm our children's anxious hearts and help them to see the blessings you've given them and thank you for them. In Jesus name, amen.

A Prayer to Be Satisfied in the Small Things God often works through the small, simple, and unexpected—especially during seasons where our expectations run high, like Thanksgiving. In today's episode by Amanda Luedeke, we’re reminded that even the most modest acts of obedience can open the door to God’s miraculous provision.We contrast the idealized “perfect Thanksgiving” many of us imagine with the imperfect but beautiful memories that truly stay with us. Instead of striving for flawless moments, we’re invited to loosen our grip, adjust our expectations, and make room for God to meet us in the seemingly insignificant. Reference: 1 Kings 17:12–16 Prayer: My Jesus, You came to this world—quietly, meekly, yet beautifully—and You changed everything. I thank You and praise You for showing us that power isn’t found only in what is big and flashy. Help me to cling to this! Help me to focus on the importance of making space for that which is simple and seemingly insignificant. Guide me away from putting all my attention on the big efforts that impress and replace that desire with an ability to see Your work in the small things.

A Prayer When God Seems Distant What does it means to welcome God—even when life feels heavy, uncertain, or painfully silent? In today's episode by Amanda Luedeke, we explore how seasons of waiting can test our faith, strain our gratitude, and leave us wrestling with God’s seeming silence.The conversation invites us to consider how we respond when God doesn’t move the way we hoped. Instead of withdrawing or pretending everything is fine, we discover the gift of honest faith: bringing our doubts, frustrations, and disappointments before Him and practicing gratitude as an act of trust. Reference: Psalm 37:7 Prayer: Lord, here is my open invitation. Take it and keep it and know that You’re always welcome in my heart and life. I welcome You even when it’s hard for me to hear You. Even when I’m frustrated by what’s around me. Even when things don’t go the way I’d like. Show me the ways that I tend to rescind my initiation to You. Work on my heart, O God, so that I trust and follow you even when I don’t understand. Even when I’m waiting for You to move.

A Prayer to Rest in God's Promises Join this conversation with Nicolet Bell & Erin Warren as they talk about the character of God, and what it means to cultivate genuine, enduring faith. This month, we’re focusing on Everyday Prayers for Faith, written by Erin, and today’s conversation centers on God’s promises, His unchanging faithfulness, and how understanding His character strengthens our faith—especially in seasons of suffering, disappointment, or uncertainty. Erin shares how biblical faithfulness is tied directly to God’s promises. We can only recognize God’s faithfulness when we truly know what He has promised—rather than assuming promises He never made. Misunderstanding God’s promises often leads to confusion or disappointment, especially during painful seasons like infertility, illness, or unmet expectations. Reference: 2 Corinthians 1:20 Prayer: Father, we are so grateful for your promises. We are thankful that every single one of them found its "yes and amen" in Christ. You did this to show that you are who you say you are. You sent your son into our world to show us yourself. So we cling to your promises. Build faith in us so that we can model that to our children. May they see that we genuinely love you and that while we are not perfect, we are trying. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.

A Prayer to Break Up with Mom Worry by Julie Gillies Let's talk about a struggle moms know all too well: worry. In today’s episode by Julie Gillies, we look to Matthew 6:34 as our anchor and explore the truth that we don’t have to carry the weight of tomorrow—or the burdens surrounding our children—alone. This episode will guide you toward breaking the toxic cycle of “mom worry” by learning two essential practices: prayer and trust. By bringing every fear, scenario, and burden to the Lord, and choosing to trust His faithfulness, we discover the peace that worry has robbed. Together, we’re invited to place our confidence in a God who hears, who helps, and who holds our children in His hands. Reference: Matthew 6:34 Prayer: Lord, I confess all the times I have worried about my children instead of praying and trusting You, and oh Lord, it has cost me peace. When worries over my children bombard my mind and heart, please give me the grace to turn every concern, every worst-case scenario, and every dread into a prayer of trust and relinquishment. Help me to give every single apprehension fully to You. And Lord, help me to trust You completely with my children’s very lives. As I care for them, may faith arise in my heart as I read Your Word. May I choose not to worry but instead trust You fully. God, You are faithful. You are utterly trustworthy. I choose to believe that You are with me and You are with my children. Thank you Lord for guarding them and guiding them. Thank you Lord that I don’t have to entertain worry because You are always with my children. In Jesus’s name, Amen.

A Prayer to Know God is Faithful to Forgive Let us not forget the comforting and steady truth that God is faithful to forgive. In today’s episode by Erin H. Warren, we are reminded that we can cling to God’s promise that He not only forgives but purifies us from all unrighteousness.Through confession, we can find freedom and restored fellowship with God. Forgiveness leads to joy, light, and renewed intimacy with the Father. Reference: 1 John 1: 9-10 Prayer: Lord, we confess before you that we have missed the mark. Please forgive us. help us to walk in your light teach us and guide us as we do let your steadfast love surround us as we continue to trust you lord we shout for joy in your forgiveness and thank you that we can experience fellowship with you it's in your name I pray amen LINKS: How to Pray God's Word For Your Children Guide Connect with Erin Warren Get today's devotion and prayer in written form to keep for future use!  Support the ministry with your $5 monthly gift through Patreon.

A Prayer for Our Children to be Bold by April Graney How can we encourage our kids to stand boldly against the culture of today? In today's episode by April Graney, we look at the remarkable story of King Josiah, who became king at just eight years old and yet “did what was right in the Lord’s sight.” His wholehearted devotion to God, despite his evil family lineage, raises powerful questions about influence, courage, and the seeds of faith planted in childhood. Reference: 2 Kings 22: 1-2 Prayer: Heavenly Father, give my children the courage to follow you with all of their heart, soul, mind and strength. Help them to rise up and boldly take a stand against evil in their midst while pointing the others to your unfailing love. In Jesus’ name, amen.

A Prayer to Get Started In today’s episode with Nicolet Bell, we explore how praying for our children can sometimes feel like tackling that overstuffed closet under the stairs—full of good intentions but easily abandoned when overwhelm sets in. Just like cleaning out a messy closet, the most important thing in our prayer lives is that we begin. God meets us in the small starts, the imperfections, and the honest moments. Reference: Psalm 105:4 Prayer: Father, help me to look to you and to seek you always. I ask for you to guard me from being intimidated or overwhelmed and help me to just get started. I desire to make praying for my children a priority in my life, and I need your help in making that happen.  LINKS: How to Pray God's Word For Your Children Guide Follow Everyday Prayers @MillionPrayingMoms Get today's devotion and prayer in written form to keep for future use!  Support the ministry with your $5 monthly gift through Patreon.

A Prayer to Understand God's Faithfulness: An Interview with Nicolet Bell + Erin Warren Do you really believe that God is always good? In today's episode, Nicolet Bell welcomes back author Erin H. Warren, writer of Everyday Prayers for Faith. Together they revisit the biblical definition of faith—rooted in belief, trust, and loyalty. Drawing from Greek language study, Erin explains that God births faith in yielded believers, forming it within us as we approach Him with humility. Faith isn’t self-generated; it’s God’s work in us as we surrender through prayer and Scripture. Reference: Psalm 36:5 Prayer: God, I thank you that you are who you say you are. You are "I am". No matter what we are facing, you know what is going on the hearts of those listening today. We ask for your tangible presence to be felt in their lives today. Give us ears to hear and eyes to see the ways that you are moving and working.

A Prayer for When We Feel Less Than by Doris SwiftWhat about those moments when we feel “less than"? Maybe it’s in the kitchen, the carpool line, or somewhere between laundry loads and late-night emails. Today's episode by Doris Swift reminds us that God’s grace is enough for every weakness, and our value isn’t found in our abilities, achievements, or how we measure up to others. Instead, our worth is secure in Christ, who makes us more than enough.Reference: 2 Corinthians 12:9 Prayer: Father, thank you for the gifts and talents you've given us to use for your glory. When we're feeling inadequate and less than, help us remember that your grace is sufficient and that our worth is not based on works or achievements. Our worth is found in you. Please help us to live this out daily and to teach you to our children and grandchildren. In Jesus' name, amen.

A Prayer to Know God is Faithful to Go Before Us by Erin H. WarrenGod is always one step ahead of us. In today's episode by Erin H. Warren, we look at Deuteronomy 31 and Moses’ charge to the Israelites before entering the Promised Land. We are reminded that God doesn’t send a messenger — He goes Himself. His presence leads, surrounds, and sustains us. Psalm 139 paints this same truth beautifully: God hems us in, behind and before, and His hand is upon us.Reference: Deuteronomy 31:8 Prayer: Lord, we know that you are faithful and that you go before us. So please open our eyes to see all the paths you have prepared for us. Please help us walk in confidence and not fear. Give us strength to walk in obedience to your word.

A Prayer for Imperfect Moms by Julie K. Gillies Motherhood is full of moments that remind us just how imperfect we are.We lose our tempers, forget the little things, and wrestle with guilt over what we should have done differently. But today’s reflection by Julie K. Gillies reminds us that our failures don’t define us—God’s goodness and readiness to forgive do.Through Psalm 86:5 and James 3:2, we’re reminded that we all stumble, yet our Heavenly Father stands ready—arms open—to forgive and restore. His unfailing love meets us in our weariness, cleanses us from guilt, and fills us with grace to try again. Reference: Psalm 86:5 Prayer: Lord, I admit that I simply am not capable of being a perfect mom, and I will fail. Will you please help me not to stab myself with a harpoon of guilt, but instead run to You, my faithful God, because You stand ready to forgive me when I blow it? Thank you, Lord, that You are not a harsh, angry heavenly Father, but You stand, arms open and ready to forgive me, Your confessing child. Help me remember to ask for Your help for everything, especially concerning my parenting and my family. Thank you that when I do, Your unfailing love rushes in, pouring grace into me and enabling me to do what I clearly cannot do apart from You, Jesus. Cleanse me, reinstate me, and enable me to serve my family with great relief and joy. in Jesus’s name, Amen.

A Prayer to Believe that Prayer Changes Everything Let's look at Philippians 4:6–7—not just as a list of instructions, but as a promise.God’s Word doesn’t simply tell us what to do about anxiety; it assures us that when we bring our worries and thanksgivings to Him in prayer, His peace—beyond human understanding—will guard our hearts and minds in Christ.Nicolet Bell reminds us that Jesus promised peace, and Paul shows us how to experience it. Reference: Philippians 4:6-7 Prayer: Father, I thank you that you hear us when we pray. I thank you for Jesus’ example of bringing specific, intentional requests for those we love to you. Let my prayers strengthen me and give me your peace. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

A Prayer for Listening to Our Children with Love by Rachael Hartzell Think about the power of listening well. In this episode by, Rachael Hartzell, we look at Proverbs 18:13–14 as a foundation, we explore how impatience and inattentiveness can unintentionally crush the spirit of those we love, and how God’s example of patient, joyful listening invites us to do better.God delights in listening to His children, and we are called to mirror that same attentive love in our homes. Reference: Proverbs 18:13-14 Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, it can be so easy for me to choose impatience and careless words when I’m not in the mood to listen to my child. In those moments when I am weary and my patience is thin, please strengthen me to respond and listen with the loving gentleness and patience that I find in Your presence. In Jesus’ name, amen.
