Negative issues in life can cause most of us to lose focus on what is essential. Remember what happened to Peter when he took his focus off Jesus and began to focus on his surroundings? That is right; he began to sink. Mama Jo's Book of Prayers: A Prayer for Almost Every Situation Including Scriptures for Study and Meditation will help us hold on to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, during turbulent times. At one point in our history, children all over the world began each weekday communicating with God through prayer at school. God has been deemed unconstitutional and forced to leave our schools. Now, our schools and colleges have become infiltrated with demonic spirits. These demonic spirits have manifested characters of their spiritual wickedness in our children. Mama Jo's Book of Prayers: A Prayer for Almost Every Situation Including Scriptures for Study and Meditation will be the tool God uses to get His people back in prayer. Envision with me, millions of people on one accord studying and meditating on God's Word, praying for more than thirty situations at a time.

We must fervently pray for our children to surpass records of doing well in school, preparing for a brighter future. Let us make a concerted effort to greet each other with a smile and a hello daily. Remember much prayer, much power. Little prayer, little power. No prayer, no power.

Mothering is messy. Our joy and hope in raising children doesn’t change the reality that being a mom can be frustrating, stressful, and tiring. But just as God is using us to shape our children, God is using our children and motherhood to shape us. In The Better Mom, author Ruth Schwenk, herself a mother of four children, encourages us with the good news that there is more to being a mom than the extremes of striving for perfection or simply embracing the mess. We don’t need to settle for surviving our kids’ childhood. We can grow through it. With refreshing and heartfelt honesty Ruth emboldens moms to: Find freedom and walk confidently in purpose Create a God-honoring home environment Overcome unhealthy and destructive emotions such as anger, anxiety, and more Avoid glorifying the mess of mom-ing or idolizing perfection Cultivate life-giving friendships At the heart of The Better Mom is the message that Jesus calls us to live not a weary life, but a worthy life. We don’t have to settle for either being apathetic or struggling to be perfect. Both visions of motherhood go too far. Ruth offers a better option. She says, “It’s okay to come as we are, but what we’re called to do and be is far too important to stay there! The way to becoming a better mom starts not with what we are doing, but with who God is inviting us to become."
