A Prayer For Mothers

Loving and Kind Lord, we express our heartfelt thanks for our mothers and all the women who have partnered with you in the miraculous gift of new life. You who took on our humanity through a woman, give all mothers the bravery required to navigate the uncertain paths that come with raising children. Empower them to live fully and to receive love in return, not in perfection, but in the beauty of humanity. Surround them with the steadfast support of their husbands, family, and friends as they nurture both the physical and spiritual development of their children. Fill their hearts with joy and gladness in their children, to help carry them through the challenges of motherhood. Above all, endow them with the wisdom to seek you for assistance in their times of need.Amen.
