Mother’s Day Prayer
Lord, we remember the mothers
who have gone before us.
For
their love, sacrifice, struggle and joy,
we
thank you.
Lord, we remember the mothers of Scripture
who are part of our story
as we are a part of your story.
For
their courage, faith, love and fierceness,
we
thank you.
Lord, we remember those who have not given
birth to us,
but are mothers to us.
For
their gift of themselves that they have given,
we
thank you.
For the women who struggle with fertility,
for those women whom society labels as less
in their childlessness,
for those women who have lost children;
for
their tears, for their strength,
for
their wisdom, for their lives,
we
thank you.
