A Mother's Story

from past #backtoschool #challenge

I had been heartbroken by the identity crisis of my teenager. When the flyer was shared with me, I wasn't planning to participate. But a leader in my church had been sharing the flyer, so I thought to give it a try. I wasn't really gingered to pray, but I eventually dragged myself to pray. The pain of seeing your child living a lie had thrown me off balance. . . But when I opened the prayer guide, I found the prayer points very "on point". It woke me up!

I mean, this is a child that was brought up in the Lord. I mean, where did I get it wrong for crying out loud! I finally found the words to push me from within, to pray. It was like all of a sudden I had a rush of inner strength to pray. It was like the words in the prayer guide went deep into my heart, and brought out the words I knew I should be praying out loud before now, but somehow I couldn't.

Even the song for the day, I wasn’t sure I knew it, but I read out the words and felt empowered. I Googled the song and realized I knew it,  so i sang it.

 

Using the bible verses and prayer points was enough for me really. Even if you’re the laziest person, you can work with the guide. The Bible passages were just on point. You may not understand, my joy is that i could pray again!  Like you don't get it, I prayed!
