Encouragement to Pray What You Really Feel

In the everyday battle of raising kids who love Jesus while living in a world that doesn’t, God invites you to come to Him. No cleaning up, no pretenses, no fancy words—all you need is to tell Him what’s truly on your heart and then ask for the wisdom, encouragement, and protection that only He can provide.

From the bestselling team behind Mama Bear Apologetics® comes a one-of-a-kind book of prayers gathered from mamas just like you, speaking to the spectrum of seasons, concerns, and needs faced throughout Christian motherhood. You will become more vulnerable and intentional in your conversations with God as you pray in specific and timely ways for your family, your community, and even for yourself.

Honest Prayers for Mama Bears puts words to the cries of your heart as you seek clarity and truth in today’s confused culture. Through these praises, confessions, thanksgivings, and petitions, you’ll lay your burdens at your heavenly Father’s feet and experience His comfort and hope as you entrust Him with your unedited thoughts.
