USA TODAY AND  PUBLISHERS WEEKLY BESTSELLER • A yearlong book of prayers to bring nightly hope and a sense of connection to mothers who feel alone, from the mother-daughter team behind the Midnight Mom Devotional Facebook page There is something about a quiet house in the midnight hours that causes stress and anxious thoughts that have been ignored throughout the day to rise to the surface of a mother’s heart. When the world goes still around you, it’s good to know you’re not alone; there are so many other mommas just like you and a God who wants to meet you in the quiet.   What began as a small online prayer ministry to encourage moms in the middle of the night quickly grew into a worldwide prayer movement known as the Midnight Mom Devotional. Now this encouraging book of prayers connects you with a community of moms to strengthen your heart and give you support when you need it most.   Each night offers a different prayer for mommas in all circumstances of life, including   • being fearful and anxious • needing a miracle • caring for a sick child • feeling as if there is nothing left to give • welcoming a new baby • experiencing sorrow • getting ready for a new beginning   In the stillness and the night, take heart in knowing that women across the world are joining you in prayer and that God is listening and loving you right where you are.

To You, Momma, Before We Begin Hi Momma, We are so glad you have found your way to these words. We have been thinking about you and praying for you, and we believe it is no coincidence that you are reading this book at this exact moment. Let us take just a second to introduce ourselves before we say anything else. We are Becky Thompson and Susan Pitts. I (Becky) am Susan’s daughter. I began an online ministry for moms back in 2013, speaking mostly about the Father’s love for a momma’s heart and how He meets us right where we are in our mothering, marriages, and everyday lives. I have written five books in five years, and I host a weekly motherhood podcast, Revived Motherhood. I have three kids, Kolton, Kadence, and Jaxton, and I’ve been married to my husband, Jared, for thirteen years. We live in a suburb of Los Angeles, but we are Okies at heart. And I (Susan) am Becky’s momma, and I’ve been in ministry for over forty years in various capacities, including full time, part time, and as a pastor’s wife. I moved from the shores of New England to Oklahoma to attend Oral Roberts University. While in Tulsa, I met and married my husband, Marc Pitts, a graduate of the University of Tulsa College of Law. We have two grown daughters, Beth and Becky, and three grandchildren. Marc and I have ministered faithfully in cities and towns across Oklahoma, serving in established churches, planting churches, and helping launch dozens of new ministries. My heart for families and especially for women’s ministries has always been to heal the brokenhearted and to restore women’s relationships with the Lord. So, when did Becky and I start ministering to women together? I suppose it began back when Becky was born. The day I went into labor, Marc was out of town at a job interview in Washington, DC. A neighbor drove me to Mercy Hospital in Oklahoma City, and that’s where she was born. I remember feeling very alone and scared even though I knew that Jesus was with me. Mercy Hospital sits on a hill and has a large white cross that is lit up at night to remind everyone that the Lord is with all the patients. When I went home later that week, I remember sitting in the rocking chair in the midnight hours and seeing that white cross from miles away as a light in the darkness. As I held baby Becky, I thought of the mommas who were having babies and who might also be feeling alone and scared, and I prayed for them. That was when the Midnight Mom prayer time started for me. Thirty years later, I (Becky) was often awake in the middle of the night with my own baby. My youngest, Jaxton, did not sleep well, and I would find myself up at all hours of the night. Like many other moms in my generation, I’d pull out my phone and scroll through social media as I rocked my little baby. One night, I decided to post on my Facebook page a simple message: “Mommas, who is awake tonight and why? Leave your #MidnightMomCheckin in the comments.” Women who followed my online ministry commented and said
