*“Mom, I Too Have Come to Believe!”

Devotion on a Mother’s Prayers and God’s Faithfulness

C. I. Scofield, known for the Scofield Reference Bible, had a remarkable testimony of salvation.

According to accounts of his life, his mother prayed before her death that her son would one day become a minister of the good news. . But she died when he was still an infant. He grew up without knowing about her prayer. Years later, after struggling through a troubled life, he encountered Jesus Christ and became a believer. Only afterward did his sisters tell him about their mother's final prayer.

Imagine the emotion in his heart when he discovered that his mother's prayer had been carried through the years!

 Nevermore underestimate the power of a mother's prayers. You may pray for your children today and see no immediate change. Years may pass. They may walk in a different direction. You may even wonder whether your prayers will ever be answered.

But keep praying!

The Bible says, “The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.” — James 5:16.

We cannot guarantee how or when God will answer our prayers. But we can entrust those we love to His sovereign grace.

Your prayers may be forgotten by people, but your tears are never hidden from God.

Keep sowing in tears. Keep trusting His faithfulness. The God who sees the end from the beginning is still at work.

And may the day come when those for whom you have prayed encounter Jesus personally and discover the joy of salvation.

Never stop praying for the people you love. Their story is not over yet!
