How do we pray when our amazing littles demand so much of our time and energy?
On today’s show, Maggie Whitley, mom of four and seminary student, shares about making prayer a practical part of the everyday moments of your life, and what to do with the worries of motherhood. One of my main takeaways is that we can allow what worries us to turn into prayer.
All this season, I’m interviewing REAL moms, with REAL challenges, who have overcome to have REAL, vibrant prayer lives. Their stories are, well, real, and I’ve picked 6 of them to share with you over the next six weeks. If you like them, follow MPM on IG at MPM and listen to them all. The ones I’ve chosen for this season are intended to give you a diversity of personal story, and my hope is that you’ll hear your story reflected in one of theirs. Maybe in all of them.
Tune in now to listen for yourself and be encouraged to overcome your own challenges to prayer!

Praying Mom: Making Prayer the First and Best Response to Motherhood
I have really enjoyed your podcasts and agree – lack of joy is a symptom of taking our eyes off Jesus. I have to remind myself of this often. I also heard you mention social media in a few of your podcasts. I believe that social media can really distract any one of us from all of the above. A good first step should be – get off of social media – ESPECIALLY if someone is not finding joy. I believe that SM is the cause of many joyless hearts – of course, the root comes back to taking our eyes off Jesus, then on to someone’s created illusion of life or spit second image of perfection without the reality of the seconds, minutes, and hours before and after. Our poor children have no idea how sucked into these deceptions they are, but how can we help them understand if we are sucked in too? You may have already addressed this – I haven’t listened to them all, but plan to. 🙂 Thanks again.
This is a great addition to the conversation! Thank you so much. I really think you’re right, and I feel it in my own life as I interact with social media. So true!
