Moments for Mom March 2002


By Elisabeth Corcoran

If you are finding yourself struggling to stumble upon time to be with God, please let me encourage you that at this season of mothering, you will not just find time...you must make time. And trust me - it will be so worth it if you do. Here are some ideas to start you in the right direction on a renewed journey with God...

If you are weary of some sleepy form of devotion,
probably God is as weary of it as you are.
~Frank Laubach~

Set the mood:

  • Set aside 10-15 minutes alone (more if you can)
  • Have your Bible, a notebook and pencil handy
  • Light a candle, play some worship music
  • Begin your time with a prayer that the Spirit guide you in your time with God

Appointment #1

In your notebook, answer these questions as honestly as you can:

  • How would you describe your spiritual walk?
  • Where would you like to be?
  • What do you struggle with the most?
  • What questions do you keep coming up against spiritually (if any)?
  • If you could change one aspect of how you live out your Christianity, what would it be?
