What does Ellen White write about...
Adventistische Schriften über: "Does God hear a mother's prayers for her children after her death?"
Answer
Yes, the writings of Ellen G. White confirm that God hears the prayers of a believing mother for her children even after her death. The example of Sister Hastings shows that her sudden passing even helped lead her children to the Lord, in response to her earnest prayer to save them at any cost. Her admonitions, tears, and prayers demonstrated a lasting impact on her family after her departure.
God hears the prayers of a deceased mother
»Her death was necessary to save her children. Her earnest prayer rose to God, to save them by any way He would choose. The mother was taken away, and then her faithful admonitions, her earnest prayers, and many tears were noticed and had an influence on the struck flock. ... [The father] was comforted in his great grief when he saw how his children turned to the Lord and earnestly sought preparation to meet their beloved mother when the Giver of life breaks the chains of the grave.«
Every prayer of a mother is recorded in heaven
»The gates are open, and every prayer of a mother, every tear of a mother, every petition of a mother for her children is recorded in heaven. The children and youths are the younger members of the Lord’s family. The work entrusted to mothers is to shape these children after the image of the divine model.«
No prayer sent in faith is lost
»I saw that every prayer that rises in faith from an honest heart is heard and answered by God, and the one who sent the petition will have blessing when he needs it most, and it will often exceed his expectations. No prayer of a true saint is lost when it rises in faith from an honest heart.«

Why I built EGW Vision
Hello, I am Stephan Krol. I started this Ellen White website to make the writings of Ellen G. White and the Adventist pioneers easier to access for everyone.
EGW Vision helps you find topics, statements, and quotes faster, especially when many original sources are not yet fully available in your language. The tool searches semantically, groups relevant content by topic, and presents matching results as clearly as possible in your language.
