Never Stop Praying

I should have called her before my Skype meeting, but I lost track of time.

When the clock rolled past 6:30 PM, she started to worry.   I was in the middle of brainstorming ideas for an upcoming podcast with Holly and Diane when my cell phone ring reminded me of my negligence.

“It’s my mom,” I explained to my friends.  “She’s hunting me down.”

“Do you need to go?  We can wrap things up now if need be.”

No, I’ll call her when we’re done,” I responded.

She followed immediately with a text message.  “Call me please. Love, Mom.”

She’s getting good at the texting thing.  Wow!  Go, Mami. 

Five minutes later, she called the office.  She knew I must still be at my desk.

“Friends, I’ve got to go calm down an elderly Cuban woman who thinks I am dead.”  Thus ended my Skype call.

My mama will not take no for an answer when it comes to her loved ones.  She wants to know what I had for dinner, what the doctor said at my last check up, and where I am located at all hours of the day.

She latches on with love and never lets go.

I need to transfer her spunky attitude to my prayer life.

To pray big, you need to be a bit of a busybody.

Lord, help me to be unceasing and persistent in prayer.

Tonight on Periscope, I shared some #PrayBig inspiration on how to pray with pluck and persistence:

This year, my desire is to lift up holy hands and “Pray Big.” Want to join me? I’ve created a private “Pray Big” Facebook group for like-minded sisters to share their stories and surrender each one to our mountain-moving God in prayer. Let’s cry out to God together.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I am sharing “Never Stop Praying” and joining like-minded sisters at Faith-Filled Friday, The Soli Deo Sisterhood, Testimony Tuesday, Purposeful Faith’s RaRaLinkup, Spiritual Sundays, and Rich-Faith Rising.
