Then you will call on Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. – (Jeremiah 29:12, NIV)
When you call on Me and come and pray to Me, I will listen to you. – (Jeremiah 29:12, CEB)
When you call on Me, when you come and pray to Me, I’ll listen. – (Jeremiah 29:12, MSG)
There is power when a parent prays. Both my Viking and I are evidence of faithful mothers who have prayed without ceasing. Though they had to watch and pray as we each navigated our own heartaches along the way, there has been much joy found in the faithful answers to prayers long heard, and at last with answer, in His perfect timing. Their example to us has set and established a pattern for us to follow in our own lives, both as parents and human beings. May we ever call on the Lord and pray to Him, for He hears and listens to all who call on His Name.
As we call on Christ,

He’s faithful to hear;
Always He listens,
Ever He is near.
There is such power,
When parents choose pray;
Dreams for their children,
Come to pass one day.
His peace and His grace,
Protection and more;
Through praying parents,
Who love and adore.
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of parents who pray. Thank You that You heard the prayers of our wonderful moms, and blessed us all in the process. Forgive us for our inconsistency in praying about all that lies before us. Teach us to come to You for all things at all times, as You are our Provider and our peace. Show us how to love those around us in the same way that our moms have loved us so well – with grace, mercy, and unconditional love. May many come into a lasting relationship with You. Be glorified O God, as we seek You and pray to You, trusting that You hear our every word. Amen.
