A Prayer for Mothers

May 14, 2013

O God of grace and love, we pray your robust blessing upon all mothers. 

We thank you for the homes into which we were born and for the care and affection of our mothers.

We pray for those with difficult homes and relationships.

We pray for those at the end of their tether.

We pray for those mothers who feel unwanted, and for those who are widowed, divorced or without a partner.

And we pray for those who have never had children but desired to do so.

In the name of Jesus we pray.

Amen.

    This is the all time best Mother’s Day prayer ever. It certainly covers the waterfront of the various roles I have played as a mother (often daily). I will keep this prayer on my refrigerator for life; to remind me that with God’s grace I will survive the many, many days of being at the end of my tether!
