Barriers to Prayer & How to Overcome Them w Mary Jane Geers →
When we devote ourselves, when we love the Lord our God more than anyone or anything else, then idols will have to fall. Today our Moms in Prayer Michigan State Coordinator, Mary Jane Geers, joins us to talk about overcoming barriers to prayer. Prayer isnt always the easiest, most convenient or comfortable thing to do, but the fruit that comes from it lasts for eternity. Listen in as Mary Jane takes us to Gods Word and reminds us Who holds the victory.

ABOUT OUR GUESTS
Wrestling with inner arguments immediately began after receiving an invitation to a Moms in Prayer group: Ill sound like a fool. I dont have time for that. Whats the point? Fears, idols, and doubts rose up in opposition to what Mary Jane knew was the right thing to do. She didnt feel like doing the uncomfortable, the inconvenient, nor the irrational.
But God.
Through Holy Spirits conviction and empowerment, she said yes to a friends (and the Lords) invitation to attend a Moms in Prayer group. Despite the fear of others, the opposition of her flesh, and the lies of the enemy, she showed up. And is beyond glad that she did!
Mary Jane cannot imagine how radically different life would have been without Moms in Prayer.
Now 20 years later, after her first yes to Moms in Prayer, she can testify that she has seen many children, including her own three daughters, grow up to love, serve and follow the Lord. In addition, by Gods grace, school communities have been sustained and strengthened despite the temptations and trials of this world. Finally, praying Gods good and beautiful word has helped her and other moms to live victoriously in Christ instead of unnecessarily defeated by the enemy.
Praise be to Jesus Christ, who has destroyed the barriers! Fellow sisters in Christ, may we demolish arguments and be found faithful to follow the Lord, no matter what He asks us to do, especially with Moms in Prayer.
SCRIPTURES
We must demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. 2 Corinthians 10:5 NIV
For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7 NKJV
Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. James 4:7 NKJV
Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. Mark 12:30 NIV
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
Matthew 6:33 NIV
not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one anotherand all the more as you see the Day approaching. Hebrews 10:25 NIV
But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. James 1:6 NIV

ABOUT OUR GUEST
Fern Nichols is a former elementary school teacher and the founder of Moms in Prayer International, a prayer movement that mobilizes women around the world to gather together to pray for their children and schools. In 1984, Fern was fearful about sending her two eldest children off to junior high. She knew the school would be a battlefield for their hearts and minds. She realized the warfare would be intense and to fight in this battle she needed to invite other moms to pray. She called a mom and asked her to pray with her for their children and school. Her response was an immediate yes, and that was the humble beginning of Moms in Prayer that now spans the USA in every state and is in more than 150 countries. Fern has traveled to almost every continent in the world speaking, teaching and training women how to pray effectively. She and her husband Rle have been married for over 50 years. They were involved with Campus Crusade for Christ (now CRU) for 15 years. They have four children and 10 grandchildren.

See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. 1 John 3:1 NIV

He answered, Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind; and, Love your neighbor as yourself. Luke 10:27 NIV
Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me. John 17:23b NIV
And I pray that Christ will be more and more at home in your hearts, living within you as you trust in him. May your roots go down deep into the soil of Gods marvelous love; and may you be able to feel and understand, as all Gods children should, how long, how wide, how deep, and how high his love really is; Ephesians 3:17-18 TLB
When I am afraid,
I will trust in you.
In God, whose word I praise,
in God I trust; I will not be afraid.
What can mere mortals do to me? Psalm 56:3-4 CSB
Praise the Lord, my soul;
all my inmost being, praise his holy name.
Praise the Lord, my soul,
and forget not all his benefits
who forgives all your sins
and heals all your diseases,
who redeems your life from the pit
and crowns you with love and compassion,
But from everlasting to everlasting
the Lords love is with those who fear him,
and his righteousness with their childrens children
with those who keep his covenant
and remember to obey his precepts. Psalm 103:1-4, 17-18 NIV

ABOUT OUR GUESTS
Sally Burkes introduction to the ministry in 1990 was life changing. Compelled by joy and the hope God gave as she prayed with others for her children and their schools, Sally began to reach out and share with other momsfirst as a Moms in Prayer group leader, then area coordinator for her hometown of Temecula, California, and later as regional coordinator for Riverside County. In 2008, Sally became the Director of Field Ministry at Moms in Prayer headquarters, overseeing ministry expansion worldwide. Today, in her role as President of Moms in Prayer International, her vision remains unchanged, that more children and schools and moms might experience Gods life-changing answers to prayer. Sally is also an international speaker, teacher and author of Raise Them Up, Start with Praise, Unshaken and the Unshaken Study Guide.
As a child growing up in Florida, Sally was fascinated with the space program and began her career as a space shuttle engineer with a Master of Science in Management. After her marriage and the birth of two children, Sally and her husband came to faith in Christ, and Moms in Prayer soon became a top priority. She and husband, Ed, now have four grown children, two sons-in-law, two daughters-in-law and five grandchildren. In her leisure time, youll find Sally on a walk/run, curled up with a good book or enjoying the company of friends.
