Sweet friend, if you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, worn out, or like everything is just too much, this message is for you. I recently went live on Instagram to share what was on my heart, and even though the tech was being fussy and I wasn’t feeling well, I knew God wanted this message to go out.
Because this one’s for the busy mama. The one who’s praying while changing diapers, folding laundry, or laying awake at 3 AM wondering how it’s all going to work out.
And here’s what the Lord reminded me (and you):
“That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.” 2 Corinthians 12:10
Even in our weakest moments, the power of Christ rests on us. Isn’t that amazing?
Why I Talk About Prayer So Much
Prayer is not just a spiritual checkbox. It’s oxygen for our souls. It’s how I lead Help Club, how I mother and grandmother, and how I live day to day. It’s not always quiet and pretty—sometimes it’s whispered in the shower or in the middle of the night when anxiety tries to take over.
The Power of Timeless Prayers
Jesus Himself prayed for you and me in John 17. Our prayers, too, can extend beyond time, for our children, grandchildren, and generations to come.
“My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message.” – John 17:20
“The smoke of the incense, together with the prayers of God’s people, went up before God from the angel’s hand.”– Revelation 8:4
Your prayers go straight to the altar of God. They don’t disappear. They linger, they intercede, they matter.
Need a Prayer to Get Started?
Here’s one I pray often, it’s part of our free printable, A Grandmother’s Prayer (perfect for moms too!):
“Lord, write Your name on my children’s hearts. Set them apart for Your service. Let them know You early and walk with You all their days. Protect them, guide them, and make them mighty in Your kingdom.”

I remember going into my daughter's room night after night and kneeling beside her bed and crying my heart out to God because I didn’t know how to be a Christian mom; I felt like I had no idea what I was doing. You know what? God is so faithful! He answered me and simply said, “Spend time with me, Deb.” And so I did. I began arising 15-30 minutes earlier each day so I could read my Bible and pray, and plan out my day with my family.
If there was one thing I would love to share with you is that God is personal and loves you as you are. You don’t have to be perfect to be loved by our amazing God! Come as you are! His loving presence can be practically known and experienced. He is not a God who is far away, He is near and easily found. He longs for you to come to Him!
Randy and I have been married for 33 years and we have two grown children, Christie, and Jack, and one answer to prayer son-in-law named Alex. And now I get to be a Gigi to my sweet little grandbabies, Aspen and Skylar, and Piper. Yay!
