All I really wanted was a day to do nothing – (AND ALL THE M O M S S A I D … AMEN!!) - as that is sometimes a difficult request to fill. How- ever, my beautiful family did shower me with great love and appreciation, and I am so thankful for that! Everyone knows that being a parent - especially a mother - is a challenging and daunting task. One of the most powerful tools we have is prayer. Through prayer, we receive guidance, strength, and empower- ment. It is also the place where we bring our overwhelming problems to a BIG God. Then, we can watch God do what we could not do, in and for our children. The following scrip- tures state: "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." ~ Philippians 4:6-7 "Oh, Lord GOD! You have made the heavens and earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too difficult for You!" ~ Jeremiah 32:17 Private prayer is important, but praying in agreement and unity with another person is also another immensely powerful way to pray. Moms in Prayer International is an example of a ministry for praying and con- necting with other parents to intercede for children and schools. They are in Poway, California, and have established prayer groups in over 140 countries. Founder Fern Nichols said, "Moms in Prayer exist because one mom felt a burden to pray for her chil- dren with another mom… and has grown into a global movement of prayer." I am a part of a Moms in Prayer group in Cleveland County N.C., and our team has had many quick answered prayers and victo- ries for our children, schools, and families. It truly is remarkable! Both my husband and daughter tell me often, "please have moms in prayer pray for us," because they see the in- credible results. Jesus encourages us to pray together. In Mathew 18:19-20, he states: "Again, truly I tell you, if two of you on earth agree about any matter that you pray for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. For where two or three are gath- ered together in my name, I am there among them." PRAY THIS PRAYER: "Lord, thank you for the gift of mother- hood. I pray for myself and all the amazing mothers that you created. As we love our children unconditionally and serve tirelessly, I ask that you refresh us and bless us. Father, encourage, strengthen, and equip us for ev- erything we need to do. Help us to find other believers who we can agree with in prayer. I pray we will experience an abundance of faith victories and miracles! In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen." Danyale Patterson is an Evangelist and member of Engage Church.

ListentoLife.org LISTEN TO LIFE by Dr. Joey Faucette Do other people—the ones you work with or live with or drive beside or go to soccer matches with or stand in line at the grocery store behind—do they really bother you sometimes? I'm sure that just about every day some person does something that gets on your last nerve. How do you react? What do you say? How do you think? Why do you feel that way? One of the most signifi cant—and diffi cult—habits I practice as an important part of making a life worth living is to forgive others. Most people—not all, but most people—are simply doing the best they can in life with what they have. Sure, they can improve. But so can I. Sure, I can see what they can't. But somebody can see what I'm blind to. Today, give someone a free pass. Just say to yourself, "He's doing the best he can right now" or "Maybe the dog wet on her favorite pair of shoes so I'll give her a break" and watch your stress slip away as you Live Positive today.
