For the mom whose daughter is pulling away

Write down what you can’t say to her yet.Give it to her when she’s ready.

Right now she might roll her eyes at anything you say. So you write it down instead. Once a week, you open the book, read a short verse, pray the prayer that’s printed for you with her name in it, and write three lines: what made you think of her, what you prayed, and what you wish you could tell her. Then you put it away. When she’s ready, at graduation, when she moves out, or the night she calls you crying, you give her the whole book.

  • 5 min once a week is all it takes
  • 52 weeks, each about something she’s going through
  • 7 letters you write now for her to open later

“But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart.”

Luke 2:19

Each week

Turn to the week that fitsYou do not have to go in order. If she is going through something, there is a week that names it.
Read the verse and pray the printed prayerHer name goes in the blank. Read it out loud, even if it is just a whisper at the kitchen table.
Write three linesThis week, ___ made me think of you. Today I prayed this over you. What I wish I could tell you.
Date it and put it awaySomewhere she will not look. She does not need to know it exists. Not yet.

When she is ready

Give it to herGraduation. The day you drive away from her dorm. The night she calls you crying. Sign the giving page and put it in her hands.

She will not hear it now. She will read it later. Every prayer you prayed, every week, in your own handwriting, with her name in every one.

Free US shipping, tracked from the day it ships

Fifty two weeks of prayer, each one named for something your daughter is going through right now: when she compares herself to the girls on her phone, when she says she does not believe anymore, when she shuts her door, when you miss the little girl she was. Every week has a verse from Scripture, a short prayer already written with a blank for her name, and three lines for you. In the back are seven letters for the days ahead of her, and a page you sign the day you give it to her. It is a real hardcover in deep purple, made to last until the day she is ready, and long after.

You pay once, with no subscription and nothing that renews. If it is not what you hoped, email us within 60 days and we refund you in full. Nothing to send back.

I finally have somewhere to put it all

My daughter is 15 and most days I get one word answers through a closed door. I pray for her every night and she has no idea. This gave me a place to put all of it. Five minutes on Sunday night, her name in the prayer, three lines from me. Last week I wrote about the night she let me braid her hair again. She won’t read it for years. But the day I drop her off at college, she’ll have every word.

Jessica M. Mom of a 15 year old daughter

Straight answers

Questions mothers ask before they start.

If your question is not here, email teamplainword@gmail.com and a person will answer it.

Because she probably would not take it. A teenager rolls her eyes at her mother’s prayers. But what you feel for her right now should not stay silent. So you keep it, week by week, and give it all back to her when she is ready to hear it.
Keep it somewhere she will not look. But if she does find it, she finds out her mother prays for her by name every week. That is not a bad thing to find.
That is exactly why every week has a prayer already written from Scripture, with a blank for her name. You read it out loud, then add a line of your own if you want to. Nobody is grading your handwriting or your spelling.
No. Five minutes a week is the rhythm, but one line counts. The date and “I prayed for you today” counts. You do not have to go in order either. Turn to the week that names what she is going through.
It was written for daughters from about 13 to 19, the years they pull away. The prayers cover phones, friends, doubt, heartbreak and leaving home. Many mothers give it at graduation or the day they drop her off at college.
No. Start anyway. Write on the nights the phone does not ring, and give it to her at Christmas break, or the next time she calls.
Yes. The Son edition has the same 52 weeks and seven letters, written for a son. If you have more than one child, get one for each.
No. Those are memory books. This is Scripture, prayed over your child by name, every week for a year, with letters for the days she will need them, made to be handed to her later.
The Berean Standard Bible, a modern English translation that reads much like the NIV or ESV. Every verse is quoted word for word.
It was written for any Christian mother. It stays with Scripture and simple prayer, and it does not take sides on the questions churches disagree about.
No. You pay once, for the book, and that is the end of it. Nothing renews and nothing is added at checkout that bills you next month.
Then it should not cost you anything. Email us within 60 days and we refund the price of the book. There is nothing to send back.
Shipping is free within the US and most orders arrive in 7 to 12 business days, with tracking from the day it leaves. If it turns up damaged, send us a photo and we will send another.
