A Prayer for Mothers

A morning prayer for Mother’s Day (the second Sunday in May in the United States). In the app it replaces the day’s readings automatically.

My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.

God’s Word

Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.

Today’s takeaway: Give thanks today for mothers and for every woman who has cared for you like a mother.

Prayer

Father, today I thank You for mothers, and for the women who have mothered me in faith. Bless the moms who are exhausted and the ones who feel they fall short. Comfort those who have lost their mothers, those who long to be mothers, and those for whom this day is complicated. Let every woman know she is seen and loved by You today. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Pray as Jesus taught us

Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

Amen.

Blessing

The LORD bless thee, and keep thee: The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.
