As a stay at home mom and as a wife that desires to give my husband and children a peaceful comfortable home, scriptures often run through my head to teach me how to do that, and how to gain strength, endurance, and to just simply remind me why I do what I do.

I love being a wife and I love motherhood. Although I stopped working almost four years ago, not one day has gone by with any regrets. I never thought I would be content with not working, especially as someone that was doing so well in a 10 year career of sales but it’s true. Not one day have I missed it. Although that is true, reality is, not everyday is a perfect day.

Keeping scriptures on hand is important for me and my position as a wife, mother, and as the prayer warrior of the home.

Here are my favorite 25 scriptures for different areas of my position as a full time wife, mother, and as a woman of God.

To Remember I am His First:

• Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised. Proverbs 31:30 ESV
• Teach me to do your will, for you are my God! Let your good Spirit lead me on level ground!  Psalm 143:10 ESV
• For your Maker is your husband, the Lord of hosts is his name; and the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer, the God of the whole earth he is called.  Isaiah 54:5 ESV
• As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace:  1 Peter 4:10 ESV
• But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit. Galatians 5:22-25 ESV
• Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.  Psalm 51:10 ESV
