Being a mom puts you in the position to be responsible for another human being(s). It is an important job that comes with a lot of expectations. You are expected to bathe your kids with prayers, stand watch over them and wait on God to birth and fulfil his purposes for their lives.
As a believer in Christ Jesus, the most important battle you will ever fight is spiritual. We do not only face external forces but also the thoughts and passions within us that may cause us to stray from the path of righteousness. The essence of waging a warfare is to bring to bear the purposes of God and thwart that of the enemy.
You will not go for a long time without a spiritual battle coming your way. This is why God has given us his word. Jeremiah 23:29 says, 'Is not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?' Praying his word back to him releases power on our behalf that gives us victory.
