The Power Of A Praying Mother

May 11, 2025    Dr. Delman Coates

I think we all would agree that mothers hold a special place in most of our hearts. They give birth to us, they nurture us, and they guide us as we grow, mature, and move throughout life. And one of the things that many mothers are known for is showing us the power of prayer. Prayer is how we access the supernatural for help in the natural. It is a timeless rhythm that harmonizes our lives and connects us to our Heavenly Father. In Scripture, we see powerful mothers like Elizabeth, the Syrophoenician woman, and Hannah—whose story reminds us of the importance of prayer and the tremendous impact a praying mother can have on a child’s future. Today, we look at Hannah's story to discover what it teaches us about prayer.
