Everyday Prayers with Million Praying Moms

What is anger? We've all felt it at one time or another, and most of us understand that it's a reasonable, human response. But how does Science define anger? What does it look like in our children? How can we recognize it? More than that, how can we understand what's happening in our minds and bodies when we get mad, and how can that translate to helping our children? That's what I'm going to atte...

To kick off our conversation about angry kids this month, I dug all the way back in the archives of the Million Praying Moms podcast to episode #17, where we interviewed author, podcaster, and mom, Tricia Goyer about her new book at that time called Calming Angry Kids . As I tried to plan for this season, I just couldn't think of anyone else I'd rather have share with you on this topic, so I decid...

All this month, we're going to be looking at the issue of anger—in ourselves and in our children—and praying for God to help us be healed from it, and overcome it, so we can live more peaceful lives. Tune in to learn why this is so important, and join me for a time of prayer. Anger is a general word that can be used to describe lots of different emotions, and it's a total body experience with a ph...

How can parents know when their children are struggling with their identity? Are there signs? Phrases to listen for?   Joining me this week on the podcast is Nashville counselor, Sissy Goff . She's sharing important, incredibly insightful tips for recognizing signs that your children are struggling, and offering steps we can take as parents to right the ship. This episode is super practical. You'l...

All human beings have an innate desire to belong, and nowhere does it shine so brightly than in our children. I actually prayed for God to give me boys so that I could raise them to be different. It only took about 12 years for me to realize that intentionally trying to raise men who were different would make them, you know, different. And what's the one thing kids want LESS than anything else???...

How do we teach our children to find their worth in who God says they are, rather than in what they can do? That's the question we're asking on today's episode of the podcast. It's way too easy for our children, for us, to feel that our worth comes from what we can do, and not from who we are in Christ. For our children, it can be about sports, friendships, academic success, popularity, clothing,...

Have you lost your true identity? Forgotten who God made you to be? Maybe walked away from the true person inside of you because it didn't seem to fit the mold of what the world expected? Have you ever tried to change something about yourself, or apologized for being you just because someone said you were a bit too much, too complicated, or too...well...you? If you've struggled with this, can you...

Identity is a loaded word nowadays. Identity was a struggle when we were children, especially in middle and high school. Now our kids not only navigate those challenges, but music, social media, shows, friends, and sometimes even teachers telling them that their identity is fluid and ever-changing. However, from the nightly news, we know this view is not true or helpful. Since cell phone and socia...

There's so much sadness that can happen as we approach the season when our kids leave our home...certainly as we're in it and adjusting to the changes in our home and daily lives. But I believe this time can also be one that is brimming over with potential, and as we end our focus on parenting adult children this month, I want to leave on a high note, and give you a vision for walking into a hope-...

You've probably heard the quote, "Show me your 5 closest friends and I'll show you your future." I'm not sure who originally said that, but there's some truth in it. It takes an awfully strong personality and character to resist the flow, especially when the flow is carrying those closest to you, and as our children get older, it becomes harder and harder for us to control their friendships. I can...

When they're little, offering our children peace has a lot to do with the environment we create for them, our ability to control our own emotions, and just providing them with stability and routine. A safe place to live, a bed to sleep in, and dependable meals. Unconditional love. But as they grow up, their peace becomes less and less dependent upon us as their parents, and more on their own choic...

Are you parenting an adult, or almost-adult child?   If you've been listening, you know that I have a senior in high school this year. I prayed over the summer, before his last high school year even started, that the Lord would guide me through it, and help me navigate it with grace.     I haven't always known the right thing to do, or the right way to parent him through this season. Because he's...

Parenting in this season brings lots of change, and moms need some light and company for the r...

I am a child of the 90s, and I vividly remember going to a True Love Waits rally where the speaker held up beautiful rose and slowly began tearing its petals off one by one until there was nothing but an ugly stump left. Of course, this was meant to illustrate what happens to our hearts when we choose to give ourselves away over and over before marriage, but there was always something about that i...

Prayer is relationship with God. But prayer is also a way we can fight battles.   Years ago, God showed me that I had been fighting against my sons. I wanted to be on their team...and I wanted them to know and feel like we were on the same team. God showed me that praying for them was literal war on their behalf. Somehow, God uses our prayers to further His will, so praying for our children, for t...

So often, the reason we lack peace in our lives...the kind that stays with us through the best of times and the very worst of times, is because we haven't built a firm foundation. And no matter how many times I hear people say, "please don't tell me I need to spend time in God's Word...I don't need another item on my to-do list..." the reality is that there's only one way to build a strong relatio...
