Everyday Prayers with Million Praying Moms

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.

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.

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.

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.

A Prayer to Remember that God is Faithful to Give Rest by Erin Warren In today’s devotion, by Erin H. Warren, we explore the promise of rest found in Jesus’ words: “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” While life can be physically exhausting—especially in seasons filled with challenges—Jesus offers a deeper kind of rest: rest for our souls.In Him, we find release from the pressures of performance and perfection, and we experience the peace that only His grace can provide. Reference: Matthew 11: 28-30 Prayer: Lord, I pray that your presence will be with us today. I pray that we will be aware of your presence with us. Breathe your restful life over our souls. May we remember that we do not need to carry the burdens that we feel. Instead, we can lay them at your feet, take your yoke, and rest. Thank you for coming to redefine Sabbath rest.

A Prayer to Partner with God for the Hearts of our Children by Nicolet Bell  What does it really means to pray “according to God’s will"?In today's episode by Nicolet Bell, we take a look at 1 John 5:14 and we’re reminded that while we can bring anything before God, our confidence comes not from getting what we want, but from knowing He hears us and acts according to His perfect will. Praying Scripture for our kids helps us align our hearts with His purposes and focus on what has eternal, kingdom value. Reference: 1 John 5:14 Prayer: Father, I am sorry for all of the times I neglect coming to you in prayer.

A Prayer to Take Off the Costume by Nicolet Bell In this episode by Nicolet Bell reflects on the truth that nothing is hidden from God. Just as children wear costumes to pretend to be someone else, we often try to cover up parts of ourselves—our sin, our shame, or our struggles. Yet God sees everything, and still, He loves us completely. This truth brings both conviction and comfort: conviction to confess and turn toward Him, and comfort that we are fully known and still fully loved Reference: Hebrews 4:13 Prayer: Father, remind me that I don’t have to cover up or put on a costume to come into your presence. I thank you that you see everything, nothing is hidden from you and you love me anyway. Help me to lead my children with honesty, inviting a culture of openness into our home, even when it is a challenge. Allow my children to know the depths of your love - that you see all and you love all.

A Prayer to Practice by Nicolet Bell Just like physical training strengthens our bodies, spiritual training strengthens our hearts and faith. The habits we repeat daily become second nature, shaping our reactions and responses when pressure comes.In today's episode by Nicolet Bell, she encourages us to consistently practice prayer, gratitude, worship, and scripture reading. When we implement habits, they become our spiritual reflexes—helping us stand firm and respond with faith in life’s big moments. God uses the quiet, unremarkable moments of obedience to prepare us for greater challenges and opportunities ahead. Reference: 1 Timothy 4:8 Prayer: Father, help us to not be afraid to put in the practice of spiritual discipline. We know that the quiet, ordinary moments are preparing us for the big moments and the challenges we will face. Show us when and where we need to put the reps in, knowing that we don’t work to earn our salvation but we do work out our salvation, each day drawing closer to you. In Jesus name, amen.

A Prayer for God to Continue the Good Word He Has Started by: Gina Smith Parenting doesn’t end when our kids become adults—it simply changes form. In this episode from Gina Smith, we reflect on the truth of Philippians 1:6 and the lifelong process of trusting God to continue His good work in our children. From the early days of learning that every child is uniquely created, to the complex seasons of parenting adult children, this devotion reminds us that God is the one shaping their hearts and guiding their growth.

A Prayer for God to Keep You The short letter of Jude—only one page in most Bibles—packs profound truth for believers. Today's episode by Brooke McGlothlin dives into the first few verses in Jude and she remind us that those who belong to God are called, beloved, and kept. The word “kept,” or “preserved” in the King James Version, speaks of God’s continual care and protection over His people.To “preserve” means to safeguard, protect, or maintain. Unlike our own imperfect efforts to keep things in order, God never fails to keep what belongs to Him. Reference: Matthew 6:34 Prayer:  Father, thank you for keeping me and thank you for keeping my children. Left to myself I know I would never, left to myself I know I would never be able to stay. There's too much sin still in my heart and it's prone to wonder from you. The knowledge that you will preserve me, that you will guard me and keep me from stumbling, brings me so much peace. In Jesus' name, amen.

A Prayer for When You Feel Like Your Prayers Aren't Being Answered Have you ever prayed for something and felt like God wasn't answering? Today's episode by Nicolet Bell takes us through the words of Psalm 34. We are reminded that God always hears our prayers—though not always in the way we expect. True prayer draws us closer to the heart of God, shifting our focus from seeking the gift to desiring the Giver. Reference: Psalm 34:4 Prayer: Father, help me to believe that you hear and respond to my prayers. Help me to trust in your character even when life doesn’t go the way I want or expect. I release my expectations to you and trust you with the outcome of my requests. Strengthen my faith by the power of your Spirit. In Jesus’ name, Amen.   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.
