OK, on to this week’s Mommy tip…
Mommy Needs to Spend Time with God
Every Mom knows that being a Mom means life is busy and hectic. It does not matter if you are a corporate Mom or a homeschooling Mom. If you are a Mother, you are a busy woman. No matter how busy our lives get, we cannot forget the most important thing in life…Daddy God. NOTHING else matter in the big scheme of things. If you find that at the end of the day, you have “missed” God, then this tip is for you!
Spending time with God does not need to be this super spiritual micro managed batch of time that is so over scheduled we get no relationship out of it. Allow God to be a part of every little moment of your day and you will be closer to Him than a rushed 15 minutes of “scheduled” time. God wants friendship and relationship…not to be fitted into a busy day when possible!
Making God Time All Day Every Day
- Talk to Him. Be in constant communication with Him throughout your day. Talk to Him at the stop light, while showering or blow drying your hair. Include Him in your decisions. Ask Him to help you. Thank Him for that great parking space. Remember: every good things comes from above. Take the time to notice and express thankfulness!
- Read His Word. This does not have to be hard. Include the kids. While sitting at breakfast, have one of them read a psalm or proverbs, then discuss it as you are getting ready for your day. If they cannot read, you can take a minute to read on or two verses. If you can’t maybe you need to sacrifice and get up 10 minutes earlier.
- Memorize His Word. Make this a family affair. Memorize one verse a week as a family. Knowing the Word is vital to a victorious walk. You can make it fun too. Be creative.
- Do a Bible study. This is important. If your church has a woman’s Bible study, do your best to participate. Otherwise do your own. Even if you can only actually do the study 2 times per week, at least you are committing something to God and making your spiritual life a priority!
We need to realize that spiritual growth is extremely important. We must be growing. Look at it this way, would you go weeks without eating or drinking? No. In this society we have a hard time missing ONE meal. Why then, do we starve our spirits??
Moms, you need to live the walk out loud before your children. In these last days we need to be raising up a generation that will burn brightly for Jesus…if we do not show them, who will??

Amen and Amen! Thanks for the reminder!
Your welcome. God has been really pressing me on this lately…where is my treasure and WHO is my true love? KWIM?
Let me add a resounding YES to this post!! I used to be a food addict — swinging between starvation and overeating for absolutely years. I was genuinely sorrowful over the sin of gluttony, but did not know how to break free. What you said regarding Scripture and time with Him on a consistent basis truly is the answer.
You mentioned lots of ways to stay connected to Him throughout the day. I found getting up before the household and getting quiet before Him was actually energizing, and then this little tip worked wonders: (Beth Moore talks about this in her studies.)
I used 3×5 cards with specific Scriptures regarding the lies I was believing around food. Lies like eating beyond fullness would bring satisfaction…(it brought momentary euphoria and then shame), or being super thin would bring me satisfaction…(it just drove me to starve to a thinner size.) It wasn’t until I used specific Scriptures to combat those lies throughout the day that I began to get free. I’m free today — at my goal weight and healthy.
This is a really good post. For me getting up early is key and having that quiet time with God makes for much better Mommyhood.
And I have to say that “The Coffee Moms Devotional” I won here in a drawing has been an amazing blessing in my life already. I’ve moved through once chapter at a time, and it has given me such great support, speaks right to my heart, and makes for some very practical, applicable changes in my life. It’s a great addition to my daily time with God.
