When she stopped reading the Bible to her kids every night, this mother received a heartbreaking question from her son.
The Heartbreaking Question
Mothers always have a soft spot for their children, especially for their innocence and honesty. When children say things, it usually brutally honest.
Victory Family Church recently posted a testimony about a mother who was convicted by what her child said to her one day.
“I used to pray with my children every night, and I would read them Bible stories every night. Six months ago, my baby stopped me in the living room. And he said, “Momma, why don’t we read the Bible any more? Why won’t you pray any more?” she recalled.

It was just an honest question that came from her son who missed hearing Bible stories every night and who looked forward to praying before sleeping with his family.
But for his mother, it was a heartbreaking question that came with an important realization. She realized that her frustrations in life were one of the reasons she stopped.

“I realized then that I was taking all my anger out. My kids were being punished because of it,” she said.
Because of that, she started looking for a church where they could grow spiritually as a family. They were eventually led to Victory Family Church.
Started New
“So, we started looking for a church. We kept coming to this and that, and here we are. But absolutely, I learned to shut and start listening to God. It’s amazing how good that works. He has revealed so many things to me. I’ve never had a relationship like I do now with God. I can hear God for the first time. I can hear Him, and I can feel Him like I’ve never felt Him before. And I can’t explain it. So, out with the old and in with the new,” she said with tears in her eyes.
