A Mother Who Prays...


I recently ran across this poem I had slipped into the pages of my Bible some time ago. It is a wonderful reminder for me to be committed to praying for our children. Also, to be thankful that Brad and I have parents who pray for us! Lord, thank you for this gentle reminder to lift up those I love!
A Mother Who Prays
Some have had kings in their lineage,
Some to who honor was paid.
Not blest of my ancestors-but,
I have a mother who prays!

I have a mother who prays for me
And pleads with the Lord every day for me.
Oh what a difference it makes for me,
I have a mother who prays!

Some have worldly success,
and trust in riches they've made.
This is my surest asset,
I have a mother who prays.

My mother's prayers cannot save me,
Only mine can avail;
But mother introduced me to Someone-
Someone who never could fail.

Oh Yes...I have a mother who prays for me,
And pleads with the Lord every day for me.
Oh what a difference it makes for me-
I have a mother who prays!

I'm sorry I don't have the authors name to give credit to... but none-the-less... what a great reminder for us to take our own children before the throne! Even if you don't have believing parents to cover you in prayer...you can become that prayer warrior for someone else!
