Here’s a Mother’s Day prayer from
Amy Young’s Messy Middle blog.
Mother’s Day Prayer
Heavenly Father,
we give thanks to You for mothers
everywhere.
We give thanks for their love,
care, concern, and compassion.
We lift up to You especially
those who have struggled in their roles as mothers,
where the path has not been
smooth.
We pray for those whose mothers
perhaps failed in any way.
Bring hope in the midst of their
lives,
whether as mothers or as
children.
For those relationships that
are strained, grant reconciliation.
Where there is pain, bring the
healing of Your grace and mercy.
May our own hearts of love extend
to all mothers everywhere;
through Jesus Christ, Your Son,
our Lord,
who lives and reigns with You and
the Holy Spirit,
one God now and forever. Amen
