A Mothers' Day Prayer

 

Heavenly Father,

Thank you for Your special gift of mothers

and for the example of Your unconditional love

they share with their children.

 

Lord, today we pray

You will protect and guide mothers everywhere ...

that You will grant them Your wisdom

in loving and teaching their children.

 

Today, may children everywhere

remember the warm caresses and whispers in the night ...

the tears dried, band-aids, the hugs, kisses, and the laughter.

 

Thank you for the mothers who played with us ...

who taught us, nurtured us, listened to us,

tried to understand us, and who prayed for us.

 

Today, may we remember Mom's beauty

when we were young and

her loveliness discovered as we aged.

 

Lord, today draw especially close

the mothers who are alone, for whatever reason,

and grant them Your comfort, Your pleasure, Your peace.

 

And for children who are alone, because of distance,

death or indifference,

may good memories flood their minds.

And if they're not good memories, may forgiveness

burst forth from their hearts

and revive in them long lost joy.

 

Lord, thank You particularly for

phone calls today and for a shared "I Love You."

 

Today as we honour, celebrate,

or simply reflect on the woman who raised us

we thank You, Lord, for Life and for Mom!

In Jesus' name we pray.  Amen

 

 

A Prayer for MOTHERS

 

All loving God,

we give you thanks and praise

for mothers young and old.

 

We pray for young mothers

who give life and count toes

and tend to our every need.

May they be blessed with patience

and kindness to care for their families

and themselves with great joy.

 

We pray for our own mothers

who have nurtured and cared for us;

May they continue to guide in strong

and gentle ways.

 

We pray for mothers who are separated

from their children because of war,

poverty or conflict;

May they feel the loving embrace of our

God who wipes away every tear.

 

We pray for women who are not mothers

but still love and shape us

with motherly care and compassion.

 

We remember mothers, grandmothers

And great-grandmothers who are no longer

with us but who live forever in our memory

and nourish with their love.

Amen
