Does a thirst for holiness, right living, faith, loyalty to God, faithfulness to your God-given assignment in serving your family and others, prayer, and other positive traits characterize your life as one who professes faith in the Almighty? If not, then it’s time for you to find yourself in the secret place of The Most High – the most intimate place of soul-searching prayer and spirit-filled devotion to Him.
As a mother and wife, it can oftentimes be challenging to find spare time to spend with the Lord. Quiet time with God should be quality time spent in His presence, learning from Him and keenly listening to what He has to say. Yes, it will require sacrifice, but it’s worth it! James 4:8 says to “Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you…” Therefore, make a concerted effort each morning and evening and all throughout the day to make time to fill up your spiritual tank so that the Father can fill you up with more and more of His Spirit.
I know how easy it is to get bogged down by all the housework, home education activities, church and community involvement, work, and life in general. However, let us not forget for a moment that unless we are connected to the Source of all life and power and strength, then as a wife and mother we won’t be able to minister as effectively to our husband and children as the Father intends. So take time to pray every day. It will make all the difference in your personal walk and in your family circle.
