I need some input from all of you Mommas out there. If you were going to buy a devotional book focused on moms, what topics would appeal to you the most? What are the things you pray about or struggle with on a daily basis?

Money. As a working momma, it would be supporting my family and dividing the time between work & family.
Not growing numb in the midst of mind-numbing daily chores and routine, preparing our hearts for the day our children say or do things that break them, preparing our children to be adults – and our friends as those adults, disciplining by attending to their hearts more than their behaviors, prayers to pray over our children…
