“Moms in Touch International is an organization that brings moms together to pray for their children and their children’s schools. As MITI prepares to celebrate its 25th anniversary, Fern Nichols, the founder and president, has collected some of the most inspiring and encouraging stories of God’s work in answer to those prayers. When Moms Pray Together will inspire and equip mothers to pray more consistently and hopefully for their children while encouraging them through the stories from moms everywhere.”
As Christian Mothers, we want what is best for our children. We want them to grow in their love for the Lord. We want them to develop a deep, life-long relationship with Christ. When something bad happens, we wonder where we went wrong…
When Moms Pray Together is a collection of stories from moms, members of Moms In Touch International, who saw the power of prayer realized in their lives, the lives of their children, and the lives of those around them.
I was inspired by the stories in this book. I did not want to put it down as I read about the heartache that these mothers faced as their children and/or the children of those around them went through difficulties such as drug abuse, learning disabilities, bulimia, premature birth, accidents, rebellion… These mothers turned to the Lord in prayer. They prayed together in the Lord’s name and saw amazing results. Sometimes, the results were seen immediately and sometimes it took many, many years of faithful prayers.
This book, these inspirational stories, reinforced in my mind the importance of showering our kids in prayer. We need to be praying the scriptures over our kids. While bad things may will still happen in our lives and the lives of our children, we can find comfort in the power of prayer, in the power of our Lord.
I strongly recommend this book for all mothers. For those going through difficult times with their kids, it will be an encouragement. For others, it will be a reminder that we need to continue to be vigilant in our prayers for our children.
When Moms Pray Together is available from Tyndale House Publishing for $13.99.
