Practicing the Presence of God

As mothers, we're called to model a deep and abiding faith for our children. But how can we do that when the demands of motherhood can be overwhelming? In this 15-minute discipleship path, we'll explore the practice of praying in Jesus' name, maintaining a constant sense of God's presence, and applying the concept of being "in Christ" to everyday circumstances.

Scripture Foundation

When we pray in Jesus' name, we're not just speaking to God; we're speaking as His representative on earth. Matthew 18:20 reminds us, "For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them." This truth transforms our prayer life, doesn't it? We're no longer just asking God for things; we're partnering with Him to bring His kingdom to earth.

Main Content

Colossians 3:2-3 says, "Set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things." How do we set our hearts on things above when the daily grind can be so consuming? It's not about ignoring our responsibilities; it's about recognizing that our true citizenship is in heaven. We are "in Christ," and that changes everything.
