Hi friends! Welcome back to The Organized LDS Mom Podcast! Between backpacks, baseball practice, seminary runs, and that last-minute Relief Society text… it’s no wonder so many moms feel stretched thin.

I’m Tiffany—your home-organization cheerleader, scripture-quoting lunch packer, and firm believer that sticky notes and sincere prayers can change everything. Today’s episode is a little different.

A gentle nudge toward starting this school year with something more powerful than a planner: a prayer. 👀 In This Episode: Why prayer matters in the middle of carpool lines, lunchboxes, and last-minute supply runs Five powerful prayers for moms to use this school year (safety, wisdom, friendships, teachers, and faith) A gentle reminder that Heavenly Father hears even the pantry prayers whispered with chocolate chips in hand A call to invite God into your daily rhythms, from rushed mornings to homework battles ✨ Key Scriptures & Takeaways: Alma 34:19–20 — “Cry unto him when ye are in your fields, yea, over all your flocks.” (Yes—even the mismatched-sock, Chromebook-losing flock!) President Monson: “He who notes the fall of a sparrow surely hears the pleadings of our hearts.” You don’t have to carry it all alone—prayer invites strength, perspective, and peace into your mom life. If you haven’t already, I invite you to say a back-to-school prayer with your kids this week—at the porch, in the car, or around the kitchen table. Doesn’t have to be fancy.
