Just in time for Mother’s Day, this small hard covered book brings 365 creative and practical ways to prayer during the day. Sometimes, life can be overwhelming and prayer becomes a chore to check off rather than a state of mind/being with God. Who has time to drop to their knees and pray with a house to run and a family to tend to? Ever mom is a working mom and prayer can sometimes become rote and work also. Enter in the Prayer Starters for Busy Moms.
The author has set up the book so each chapter has a story, Prayer starters, a poem, prayer or song; each chapter challenges the reader to live in the presence of God.
The Chapters are titles like:
Drawing near the fire, the premise of prayer starters for busy moms.
Prayers that start as you breathe.
Prayers that start with Praise
Prayers that start with a hurting heart.
Prayers that start with concern for our nation.
Jesus’ prayer for Us.
It’s easy to see why this book will help not only moms but others as well. There are 306 pages and a total of 14 chapters, the book is small with a bright cover, and a silk attached book mark helps you keep track of where you are in the reading.
I highly recommend this little book; it will make a great Mother’s day gift for any mom you know. And although my children are grown and married, I found the stories, poems etc. relevant in my dealings with my wonderful grandbabies. Make sure you find a place for this book in your kitchen, bedroom, bathroom or purse!
