Alone or Together

On my drive home from a prayer meeting, I noticed a huge hawk sitting atop a light pole. Fluttering in front of it was a small bird who all of a sudden, with all the fierceness it could gather, dived at the hawk. The larger bird flinched and lifted up its wing to protect itself, but didn’t give up its position. The little bird repeated itself, but to no avail. The hawk really wasn’t fazed.

 

It made me think, one little bird is just a pest. But if there were several birds attacking this enemy together, I don’t think a lifted wing would do it. The hawk would most likely take flight.

 

That, praying moms, is the different between your alone prayers and your prayers done together with other moms. Alone we grow tired and often give up. But together we find strength to persist until the enemy takes flight.

 

That is also why I am thankful for the ministry of Moms in Prayer International. I’m not just one little momma bird fighting alone. I’ve got other momma birds fighting the enemy of my children with me AND me with them for theirs. We help each other be strong warriors for our children and not give up.

Two are better off than one, because together they can work more effectively.
