Adventistische Schriften über: "Promises for praying mothers"
Answer
God promises believing mothers that their prayers will never go unnoticed, because Jesus as a personal helper knows their worries and burdens precisely. He grants the necessary wisdom and grace for child-rearing and ensures that serving angels protect the children consecrated to the Lord from harmful influences and the power of Satan. Even in seemingly hopeless situations, God rewards steadfast faith and can powerfully work for the conversion and preservation of the children.
God hears the mothers' pleas
»The prayers of Christian mothers are not ignored by the Father of all, who sent His Son to earth to redeem a people for Himself. He will not reject your petitions and will not leave you and yours on the great day of the final conflict to the temptations of Satan. It is up to you to act with simplicity and faithfulness, and God will strengthen the work of your hands.«
»Jesus knows the burden in the heart of every mother. He is her best friend in every distress. His eternal arms support the god-fearing, faithful mother. That Redeemer, who, when He was on earth, had a mother who struggled with poverty and deprivation and faced many anxious worries and difficulties in raising her children, sympathizes with every Christian mother in her efforts and hears her earnest prayers.«
»The Lord will give the praying mother the wisdom and grace she needs to teach her little ones and to interest them in the precious ancient story of the child born in Bethlehem, who truly is the hope of the world.«
»Mothers may come to Jesus with their worries and perplexities. They will find grace sufficient to support them and help them in raising their children. The gates are open to any mother who wishes to lay her burdens at the feet of the Savior.«
»Will the Lord of Heaven pass by such homes and leave no blessing there? No, truly not. Servant angels will guard the children who are thus consecrated to God. They hear the offering of praise and the prayer of faith and carry the petitions to Him, who serves His people in the sanctuary and presents His merits for them.«
»Today He is likewise ready to hear the petitions of His people. His "hand is not too short to help, and His ears are not hardened so that He does not hear"; and if Christian parents earnestly seek Him, He will fill their mouths with arguments and, for His name's sake, work powerfully for them in the conversion of their children.«
