As moms, sometimes it feels like we are in charge of everything and everyone depends on us. It's up to us to make sure the baby is fed, the kids are wearing pants when they get in the car, and the sandwiches are packed.  But am I actually the one in charge?Thankfully no. God is sovereignly in control of my life and the lives of my kids. To pray is to acknowledge that and to ask for help. But for so many of us, prayer is a real struggle. Especially in the busyness of life with kids.Susanna Wesley, the mother of John Wesley the founder of the methodist church, knew a thing or two about being busy. She had 16 kids. That's a lot. But she made time with the Lord a priority. She taught her kids that if they came into the kitchen and saw Mom with her apron over her head, they were not to bother her. Because that meant that she was in prayer or in the Word. Susanna Wesley wasn’t available for an interview –but mom to eight kids Andrea Payton was! I hope you enjoy this encouraging conversation with a seasoned mom about why prayer is so important to mothering and some practical ideas for making prayer a part of your everyday life.****LinksPrayer Cards from the Daily Grace Companyhttps://thedailygraceco.com/products/31-days-of-prayer-kids-verse-card-setEvery Moment Holy Liturgies For Changing Diapers (I and II)https://www.everymomentholy.com/contentA Praying Lifehttps://www.amazon.com/Praying-Life-Connecting-Distracting-World/dp/1631466836A Call to Prayerhttps://www.chapellibrary.org/pdf/books/ctpr.pdfSusanna Wesley  https://www.desiringgod.org/interviews/fight-for-delight-by-planning-your-devotions
