I battled drug addiction at a young age but once I was delivered I played this song to my Mom ❤

[@mangohoney802]

I sing this at my mom's funeral 6 months ago...momma I love you always. I miss you tremendously

[@randolpharmbrister7522]

Be strong and encouraged. I sang 'i pray we all be ready' at my moms passing service 15 years ago.

[@veliciawilliams3776]

Your mom is always with you. 😊❤️

[@janetfacey6619]

I have lost my mother to covid 19 in April I thought she was safe in the care home I cry everyday momma I will never forget you god is the waymaker always in my heart love always from Janet and blesynn

[@drpharm561]

Candidate Staton ,came in to my soul today when I sang this song for my mother's birthday, my Aunt Virginia, Mother Stretched was there and many more of my realitives,,older people I respected was there listening my cousin Nat came to me and said you truly sound like Candi, but just to know how I feel then and now is something that touches my heart. For I've never saw my mother and when I would talk to her I would say, Mom I'm reasoning like Moses,the chosen one of God ,she would say then I will whip you like you deserve if it's not God's will. Sometimes it worked. But before she passed she realized that my mission for the Lord was genuine. AMEN I LOVE HER AND MISS HER ALOT

[@Beyondme7700]

Send this song to all the mother's for mother's day 💕

[@dawntaylor2348]

Whenever I'm going through things with my children. I have to hear this song. I lost my mama years ago. But there's not a day I don't miss her. I asked for her forgiveness way before she passed and she told me I forgave you year's ago baby. So this song just reminds me what a prayer warrior she was for her children NMW. Love you Mommy Always! 💖💯🙌

[@drpharm561]

These women hit the right message about being sent by God means more then self, knowing who is in you and when persecution comes all around you, from many just keep the focus of the Lord as the light of God that relationships closer then a brother, I got it and it's sinking in my So.ul

[@rodhorncastle]

Just listening to her on the 2018 album on spotify: Muscle Shoals: Small Town, Big Sound album. She sings "I ain't easy to love" with Jason Isbel. Amazing!!!!!!

[@FelixScottJr]

Nice song. My mother prayed for me. Had me on her mind. Took the time to pray for me. I'm so glad she prayed. I'm so glad she prayed for me.

[@drpharm561]

I'm thankful to the Lord for so many things to see,touch,walk,hear,his voice knowing he is there, not always listening and going through the fire,and feeling it remembering it and the reason for it, makes me understand it's meaning better,and knowing Why.Thank you so much for the ears to listen and the genuine love you has given to me. Obeying God is me,deeply meaning what I do no matter,how,what, when,let God be in you in the front leading at All times, God Bless Sincerity of heart is Me, Teacher Mother Jen

This song reminds me of my mom she passed away 3 years ago

[@Tubamomma1]

I love this song...I've never been close to my mom, but this song gives me an understanding of the love of mother...

[@shirleynapper6577]

Love this song!! My mom is 92 and the mother of 14 plus numerous grands. A true prayer warrior and I know she prays daily

[@drpharm561]

When we were in trouble and called,there was nothing she wouldn't do that could keep her away,she was a tiger ,lion,bear elephant, leopard, chetta,jaguar, she was all those animals wrapped up in one. No matter what she would help you, I use to say I don't want to be like her, but I came to know that I'm part of her DNA,she raised me to love God first, myself and help others, she gave me a hand to create many things a gift to write poetry was there,because my Aunt's and her would sing song's play their homonica(harp) ,she taught us sewing, singing,cooking, how to be a go getter,self worth,much things regarding enemies, how to fight. But towards the end of her days she came to know Abba Father, that is the most important thing in life. God bless. Teacher Mother Jen

Mama..words can't explain

[@BeverlyWashingtonPHOTOGRAPHER]

To have a Good Mother, is such a Blessing, my mother was so good, to me, along the way, I made some mistakes, but I"ll never forget what a good lesson, she taught. I have even written a book in her memories. To show my appreciation, which I consider a small token, but my love for her is everlasting.

[@thebestisbre]

[@user-wd1es5rb5l]

Well done queen 😢

[@drpharm561]

Saw mean talk back to her, one thing I was ,scared of her fear is what made me obey her. Action was another,when she said give your heart to God bring your but to me we knew it was a killing we was going to get everyone knows what our parents mentioned by that.Seeing my older siblings get can was enough for me. Trying to be obedient was my motto.it was hard.but Momma by Candic Staten was a song that hit me when I think of my mother Salle Mae Poole a native Indian,God Blessed Jennieve

[@marcuswilkins7171]

i love you mama

[@marionodeh5012]

Just as the song said, "Mama I love you, first, because you were worthy to give me birth or to bring me to this realm. Where, I am to fulfill my Spiritual obligations. Mostly, Mama, I miss you due to your short life in this realm. Well, thank you for still taking care and looking after me, from the invisible realm that you came from, for my sake.

The interviewer is so familiar but I can't call her name. What is her name? This was a nice interview.

[@mississippiwoman2012]

I thought you'd like to know

[@rodee40]

Saying man said woman not to preach is a lie from her mouth, because the word of JEHOVAH SAID WOMANS NOT PREACH . So you not to preach because GOD SAID SO . the devil says you can preach and if you preach and all woman that do PREACH is not of THE HEAVENLY FATHER . ASK PASTOR GINO JENNING. HE A TRUE MAN OF DOING GOD WILL.
