    The Bible is full of examples of godly mothers. Hannah is one such. She was committed to God, to her husband, and to her children.

    A Mother’s Commitment I Samuel 1 Here we are again--another Mother’s Day. Time to extol the virtuous role of motherhood. Where do we look for our role models? Hopefully, we need look no further than our own family. But alas, not all mothers are good role ...read more

     | 5,093 views

    Men can pray in their own way by doing what they know is right to do, by listening to the Lord as well as speaking, and by holding others and God Himself accountable to keep promises.

    The young Australian pastor had just received his first assignment. It was to a remote sheep-ranching settlement deep in the Australian outback.

    Persistence In The Presence: How Women Pray

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on May 22, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 11,716 views

    Women succeed in pray because they persist in trusting God, allow the whole self to pray, take God at His word, are not afraid of intensity, choose responsibility over religion, and keep their commitments.

    If, as Thomas Edison tells us, genius is one per cent inspiration and ninety-nine per cent perspiration, then I suspect it is also true that prayer is one per cent insistence and ninety-nine per cent persistence. Prayer is one per cent insistence, to be sure; we do, in our prayers, tell God what ...read more
