A Mother's Prayer For Her Children

Here is another prayer for mothers, especially for her children. Still from the booklet, Scripture Confessions for Moms.

The Greater One in My Children
 God Himself makes His home in the hearts of my children. God in them is greater than any temptation, greater than any peer pressure, greater than any sin, greater than Satan and all the forces of darkness. God in my children is greater than any problem or obstacle they might face, greater than sickness or disease, greater than sin or any challenge that comes in their lives.
He is greater than any adversity they might face. He is grater than their doubts, insecurities, or uncertainties. He is greater than fear, worry, or anxiety.
The Spirit of God lives big in them. He helps them to succeed, He puts them over, and He causes them to be victorious in their everyday lives.
God's Word gives them boldness and courage to live godly lives before their family and friends. The same Spirit that raised Christ Jesus from the dead lives in my children. The Holy Spirit quickens and brings life, strength and vitality to their bodies. My children are more than conquerors in Christ Jesus through the power of the Holy Spirit. My children shall face life with confidence and a resolute, tenacious faith in God, who always causes them to triumph in life. Greater is He that is in them, than he that is in the world.
Scripture
Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
 1 John 4:4

Scripture Confessions for Moms Prayer

     Mothers are considered the light of the house who bring enlightenment and guidance to the family. To be able to do this, the mother has to be connected with God. For busy moms here is another prayer from the booklet Scripture Confessions for Moms by The Harrison House Vision.
Godly Household
My home is a place of refuge and peace. I believe that anyone who comes into my home will feel the presence of God. I choose to honor God in my home. I dedicate my home to the Lord; I consecrate it with prayer and praise.
I am diligent and committed to monitor and evaluate the kinds of books, videos, music, and movies that are allowed to be played in my home.
In my home are riches and honor; my god supplies all my family's needs. I will work diligently to keep my house clean and beautiful so that it is a constant blessing to all my family. 
I believe my home is a safe haven, protected and kept safe by God's divine protection. I believe no evil shall come near my home, and no plague, disease, or calamity shall befall us. I believe my home is blessed and all who enter it are blessed.
My home is consecrated and dedicated to God. I will not allow activities in my home that are not honorable to God. With the Holy Spirit's help I will create and maintain an atmosphere of love, hope, and peace in my home. I believe everyone who comes to my home will sense His presence.
Scripture
...as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.
 Joshua 24:15

Prayer For Busy Moms

     Most moms are busy, whether working moms or stay at home moms. Like me, I am a working and a breastfeeding mom. The one problem I have being a mom of a four-year old and a four-month old is time. There are so many things I have to do. Yet, lack the time to do those things. One of these things is prayer. It is in prayer where I find strength and stability. And the lack of time to pray makes me frustrated at times. Yes, I can do it while doing something but the concentration is difficult. I am just thankful I bought a year ago a booklet entitled Scipture Confessions for Moms. The best time for me to read this is while breastfeeding my baby. Here is one prayer.

Becoming the Mother God Says I Am
I choose to glorify God in my role as a mother. I choose to live a godly life before my children. I am disciplined concerning my priorities as a mother. I manage my time in an effective and efficient manner. I am sensitive to the needs of my children. I have God's wisdom and discernment concerning how all my decisions affect their lives.
 I am loving, caring, and compassionate toward my children. I keep my cool during times of stress and do not become frustrated and lose my temper. If I do something that is wrong or offensive, I am quick to repent and make things right. Because I live a spirit-controlled life, I am peaceful, consistent and faithful. I walk in love at all times, and I am quick to provide encouragement and inspiration to my family. I refuse to criticize, condemn or complain to or about my kids. I will be honest and truthful and live my life with integrity. When faced with the need to discipline my children, I will do so without anger. I will reference God's Word as their standard of conduct.
 I will be steadfast and resolute regarding my convictions and will do my best to model the life of a godly mother before my kids. I will be faithful to pray for my children. With the help of the Holy Spirit I will do my best to mentor and instruct them in the truth and principles of God's Word.
