Mothers are one of the greatest signposts God ever fixed on the earth, carrying on daily with strength, love, consistency, the healing art, and just the right words at just the right time. The amazing love and effectiveness mothers display demonstrates, in thousands of ways, that behind them there is a God who also cares. And where even the best of mothers cannot reach us, heal us, or offer the right words, there is someone even stronger, more perfect and availing. Loving mothers point us to a loving God.

Having a consistent, intimate prayer life is a challenge for many of us. We might pray readily enough for our most immediate concerns, such as help for our children, provision with our jobs, or assistance with our finances. We often have difficulty, though, relying entirely on God to answer our prayers in accordance with our truest needs. How do we pray rightly, understanding that we’re praying to a God who can do infinitely more than we ask or imagine?

The finality of Christ’s burial left His disciples in a state of fear and mourning. The silence of the grave, however, would not last for long. On the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene discovered an empty tomb that proclaimed Jesus’ decisive victory over sin and gave rise to the fledgling faith of all who saw and believed. The Spirit of God, Alistair Begg explains, has the power to raise Christ from the dead and transform mockers and doubters into bold witnesses for Christ.
