🎙️ Episode Description: A Mother’s Prayer: Washington, Lafayette, and the Power of Godly Influence

In this episode, we step back into the early days of the American Revolution to uncover a little‑told story of faith, family, and the quiet strength behind great leaders. Before the Marquis de Lafayette departed for battle, he sought out the prayers of none other than Mary “Molly” Washington—George Washington’s mother. Known for her steadfast patriotism and unwavering trust in God, she prayed over him just as she had prayed over her own son.

When George Washington was called to lead the Continental Army, the first place he went was his mother’s side. Her response wasn’t fear—it was faith. She prayed, encouraged him, and sent him to fulfill his duty. In an age of uncertainty, her Godly counsel helped shape the leadership of a man who would guide a nation.

In this episode, we also explore a powerful prayer found in Washington’s personal prayer book. Could you pray this prayer today? How might it shape your own walk, your courage, and your purpose?

And finally—who are you praying for? Parents, mentors, and friends have long lifted up the next generation. Today, we’re invited to do the same.

Join us as we reflect on the legacy of Godly parents, the influence of sincere prayer, and the faith that strengthened the founders of a nation.
