Episode 9: A Prayer for When Life Feels Chaotic
For many of us right now, life feels chaotic. Whether it’s chasing after our children, managing summer schedules, chipping away at to-do lists, grieving the heaviness of the world, or all of the above, we can easily become disconnected from ourselves and God. Join us for this breath prayer to pause and recalibrate, and know that you and your family are held in the midst of it all.

Episode 8: A Prayer for Playing Together
There is something about play that opens us up to wonder and receiving from our Creator. We see how children seem to understand this innately: their playing grounds them in the present and allows them to delight without rush. This week, pray with us that it may be so, that we take the time to slow down and experience some magic through play.
Head over to Alabaster to grab a copy of Towards Rest, where you can find Kayla’s chapter about play and rest.

More than 400,000 children are in foster care in the United States. May is National Foster Care Month, and for this episode, we’ll be reflecting on God as a loving parent through Psalm 86:15. Even if foster care is not part of your journey, we invite you to pray with us for the caregivers and children whose stories include it.

Customer Reviews
Perfect Mom Podcast
This short and sweet podcast with scripture and a prayer is perfect for moms! Still seems like there’s some sound issues. In Ep 1 the music was a bit too loud and vocals too low. Ep 3 the vocals got fuzzy at times because it was too loud.
Perfect timing!
This podcast is right on time! Parenting is not easy by itself. Add the current cultural climate and parenting can seem daunting. Kayla gives us a sense of not being alone. Her prayers are truly for such a time as this! Her voice calmly reminds us to look to the One Who promises us He is always with us.
Awesome
I love the contemplative practices and I haven’t seen anything specific to parents. Thank you for this. What a gift.
