A prayer for busy moms to keep Bible study a priority by Meg Butcher. Very early in the morning while it was still dark. Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place where he prayed,

Mark 135.

Bible Study since the birth of my children has been an eight-year battle. I've done all sorts of things to avoid

being noticed until 7 a.m. There's little time for formality after childbirth but

always time for him.

Though we may not be able to wrap our exhausted minds around how to fit one more thing into

our lives, the author of creation can stretch our time.

Wake up.

The struggle of the snooze button is simplified by Jesus' example.

When we walk into the day without letting God prepare our hearts, it's like forgetting to eat.

Our minds aren't as sharp without proper nutrition, and our bodies become susceptible to sickness

and injury. The same is true for our souls. We're promised to be

attacked when we walk out the door each day. In five minutes God can equip our

hearts to face the day ahead.

Use your time wisely.

Many moms spend a major chunk of the afternoon

waiting in the school pickup line, In that 20 minutes of glorious quiet space, read a book.

One chapter a day turns into 20 books a year and an opportunity to study the Bible.

Christian authors have bound with books on topics.

They meet busy moms where they're at with camaraderie, laughter, and tears.

Find people.

God did not intend for us to walk through life alone.
