“Call to Me and I will answer you, and I will tell you great and mighty things, which you do not know” (Jeremiah 33:3 ).
As a mother of young children and busy author, Donna VanLiere stays busy. She runs after a two and four-year-old, cooks, cleans, does laundry, and grocery shops. Sometimes the entire day flies by. But in spite of the hectic pace, Donna looks for opportunities for prayer.
She prays for her children when she’s picking up their room, folding their clothes, or giving them a bath. She prays for her husband when she’s washing clothes or dishes, or working in the yard. Because she looks for them, she finds plenty of opportunities to pray for family, friends, even the President of our country, and others.
Friend, talking with your heavenly Father is an honor and privilege. Quiet times are great, but God enjoys listening when you’re busy, too! The Bible says to pray at ALL times. It’s easier than you think!

I find this to be so true - when I am awake in the middle of the night, which I have been these past few nights, I find myself praying. And more often than not, my prayers begin and end with gratitude and thankfulness. one of the things that struck me as one of my sons prayed for me yesterday is that he said, "Dear God, thank you for mommy. Thank you that mommy is alive and here with us. Please take her itchiness and pain away......" wow. talk about celebrating life. oh the things I learn daily from my children. Thank you, God.
