Mom's prayers are powerful - personal experience

Hannah's prayer and vow to God

In bitterness of soul Hannah wept much and prayed to the LORD. And she made a vow, saying, "O LORD Almighty, if you will only look upon your servant's misery and remember me, and not forget your servant but give her a son, then I will give him to the LORD for all the days of his life, and no razor will ever be used on his head."
1 Samuel 1:10-11

[Hannah] said to him, "As surely as you live, my lord, I am the woman who stood here beside you praying to the LORD. I prayed for this child, and the LORD has granted me what I asked of him. So now I give him to the LORD. For his whole life he will be given over to the LORD."
1 Samuel 1:26-28

The prayer of a godly mom...

"May my child always know Jesus."

Throughout history, mothers have also come to embrace their role as part of God's answer to their own prayer.

Are you the answer to some mother's prayer?

Eli, despite his many failures in his own parenting, plays the primary role as God's answer to Hannah's prayer and vows to give her son to the Lord.

Is God calling you to be His answer to a mother's prayer, despite your own personal issues?

The lesson of Samuel

Mothers (and the rest of us) pray because God still listens!
