Lord, today we pray for mothers everywhere.
Bless mothers who are expecting a baby. Calm their fears and keep their new little life safe.
Bless mothers who have babies & toddlers and are in a busy season of bottles, nappies and endless laundry. Give strength to mothers of little ones.
Bless mothers who have busy school-going children. Give them an extra measure of wisdom to answer questions and mould young hearts.
Bless mothers who parent teenagers. Allow them the grace to let go when needed, and the courage to provide firm boundaries when required.
Bless mothers of adult children, that they savour the friendship with their child.
Bless single mothers with the strength to fulfill many roles. Provide them with supportive people in their lives.
Bless grandmothers who have the double blessing of being both mother and grandmother- may they spoil their grandchildren with abandon !
We pray peace for mothers who have lost a child, and for women who are grieving because of infertility.
Give us eyes to see women around us who struggle to mother well. Help us be the hands and feet of Jesus to them.
Bless the mothers who are no longer with us and have gone to their heavenly home.
Thank you Lord for our mothers. They gave us life, and for that gift we are forever grateful.
We pray for mothers everywhere. Amen.
