A Mother’s Supplication

Heavenly Father,

I come to You today with a grateful heart, thanking You for the gift of motherhood. I ask that You guide me as I raise my children in Your ways, teaching them to love and serve You.

Grant me wisdom and discernment as I make decisions for my family, and give me the strength and patience to handle the challenges that come with raising children.

I pray that my children will come to know You personally and follow You all the days of their lives. I pray that they will become men and women of integrity, who bring glory to Your Name.

I ask for Your protection over my family, and I trust in Your faithfulness to meet our needs. I give You all praise and honor, for You are my loving Heavenly Father.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Luke 1:26-38 ESV

In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. And the virgin’s name was Mary. And he came to her and said, “Greetings, O favored one, the Lord is with you!” But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and tried to discern what sort of greeting this might be. And the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.”

And Mary said to the angel, “How will this be, since I am a virgin?”

And the angel answered her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be called holy€”the Son of God. And behold, your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son, and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren. For nothing will be impossible with God.” And Mary said, “Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.
