Prayer of Intercession
for Struggling Mothers

We pray for all mothers who are struggling
to be the parent they want to be.

We pray for the barriers that face them and the chains that ensnare,
whether that be past experiences, circumstance, or difficult choices.

We pray for mothers who are grieving today,
or who face the daily battle of illness.

Where there is darkness, may you bring light,
where there is despair, may you bring hope,
where there is turmoil, may you bring peace.
And where your love is needed most,
call forth people who can carry that
to all those mothers who need it today. Amen.
