Moments Of Peace For Moms

DAY 9 OF 10

Spiritual Jotting

I have met many young mothers who are discouraged by their inadequate devotional life. The term “quiet time” only reminds them how little “quiet” or “time” they have for Bible reading, prayer, and meditation.

When my children were young, a speaker shared how she overcame this dilemma during her childrearing years. Throughout her house she placed pencils and notepads. During the day, wherever she was, she would jot down insights, prayer needs, or Bible verses as they came to mind. Each evening she would gather up her jottings—the ingredients of a spiritual feast she had been preparing all day. How eagerly she welcomed the opportunity to nourish her hungry spirit with her Bible and her jottings! I put her method to the test, and my daily devotions became what they needed to be—a workable vehicle for strengthening my devotion to Christ.

If you’re an overworked mother, I recommend “spiritual jotting,” both now and as a lifelong habit. Not only will it put more devotion into your devotions but it will also bring you closer to fulfilling Paul’s admonition to “pray without ceasing” (1 Thessalonians 5:17 NKJV).  —Joanie Yoder
