I speak this prayer to you now in gratitude and praise for the gift of mothers. My mother, those of my friends, relatives, those I’ll never know, all mothers. Thank you for the role they play in the family unit. Thank you for their teachings, their wisdom, their patience, and understanding. Thank you for the physical, emotional, and spiritual gifts they possess. I pray that you help mothers all across the world to be a blessing upon their children. Whether delivering affirmation or discipline, I pray that you help every word and action to be done in love. And I pray that children throughout the world would take time to honour their mothers, that you would show them how to uniquely do so.
Living God, long ago, faithful women proclaimed the good news
of Jesus' resurrection, and the world was changed forever.
Teach us to keep faith with them, that our witness may be as bold,
our love as deep, and our faith as true.
Pray for People on the List
God, give us faith to walk with you through the ebb and flow and the victories and the defeats of life and to achieve victory and mastery of life. Amen
