Marley Gritter says moms can get more out of prayer when they're praying with other moms.

Because when you're accountable to another mom, a group of moms, you begin praying, you begin to learn to be vulnerable.

You learn that everybody else's kid isn't perfect like you think they are. You begin to see,

week after week, you hear that God answered that mom's prayer. And boy, I go to moms and touch and I'm like,

it gives me hope every week. And my prayer life has totally changed. It's been revolutionary. And we hear

that over and over. This is the Revive Our Hearts podcast for Monday, July 18 18, 2016.

We've been in a special emphasis on prayer here at Revive Our Hearts.

You've heard several series on prayer this year.

Today, we continue that emphasis by learning how to pray for our kids in a consistent, effective way. We'll hear a classic conversation Nancy had with Marley Gritter

and Fern Nichols from Moms in Prayer International. You'll also hear that ministry referred to

as Moms in Touch, because that was its name when this

conversation was recorded. Here's Nancy in a series called How to Pray for Your Children.

I received a letter from one of our Reviver Hearts listeners a few days ago. This came to my

attention. This is a woman who says, my heart goes out to all our orphans.

And then she explained what she means by our orphans. She said, those kids without a mom or a dad

to give them security and love and the way to Jesus. She said, my personal reason to live is to pray for them and to pray for my own

10 adult children and their children. She said, I pray first for my 20 grand and one great grand to come to

Jesus and then to go out to share the wonderful good news

of Jesus love. She says, by now you have guessed my advanced age, late 70s, and living for eternity.

Is that not precious? Here is the woman in her late 70s who has a reason to live.

Her reason to live is Jesus.

Her reason to live is eternity.
