Psalm 42:1–2 paints a powerful picture of spiritual longing: “As a deer pants for flowing streams, so my soul pants for you, O God.” Many believers share this same desire—to spend meaningful time with God—but the demands of daily life can make it difficult.
In this episode of the Everyday Prayers Podcast, we’re reminded that while our hearts may long for God, busy schedules, early mornings with kids, unexpected illnesses, and long days can leave us feeling spiritually drained by the time we finally fall into bed at night. When time and energy are limited, devotionals can be a helpful way to stay connected with the Lord.
Unlike longer Bible studies, devotionals are designed to be short and accessible, often taking just a few minutes to read. They can provide encouragement and guidance when you’re struggling to focus on Scripture or when exhaustion makes it hard to gather your own thoughts. Sometimes reading the reflections and prayers of others helps guide our hearts back to God and keeps us abiding in Him even during the busiest seasons.
Even a few quiet moments spent reflecting on God’s Word can refocus your heart and deepen your relationship with Him. As you seek Him daily, may your time in Scripture—whether through a devotional or personal study—stir a deeper hunger to know the living God.
Our Patreon community offers a downloadable prayer calendar with the full month’s prayers, along with encouragement and connection with other moms committed to prayer.

You are not alone in this journey—we’re praying right alongside you.
