Dear God,
We come before You today with hearts full of love and concern for the mothers in our lives. We pray that You would give them strength to face each day with courage and determination. May they find rest and comfort in You, and may they know that they are not alone in their struggles.
We ask that You would give them wisdom to make good decisions and lead their families with love and compassion. May they find joy in their roles as mothers and may they be a source of joy to those around them.
We pray that You would use their influence to point their children to You and to the hope and salvation found in Jesus. Help them to be examples of Your love and grace to their families and to those around them.
We give You thanks for the gift of motherhood and for the love and blessings that mothers bring to our lives. All of this we pray in the name of Jesus, our Savior and Lord. Amen.
