May these prayers bring joy and contentment to the heart of all moms! We also understand that Mother's Day can be painful and difficult for many - those who did not have a good relationship with their mom, those who have lost their mother, or those waiting to become a mom. Mother's Day prayers can be used in church, on a card, or said while sharing a Mother's Day meal. We pray for strength to sustain the hard parts, patience to embrace the days as they fly by, and courage to let go and love our children for who they already are right now, just as He does. Being a mother is a privilege packed with purpose we can’t handle apart from His strong and guiding hand. We are created in His image, and perhaps nothing solidifies that reality more than welcoming a new life into the world. Every note of talent and nuance of personality are the products of His compassionate care and love. It’s possible mothers learn more about themselves, their purpose, of life, love, and God through the eyes of the children He puts in their care. There is no greater honor than leading freshly born hearts to His feet. Every life begins and ends under the sovereign hand of God. Mother's Day is a beautiful time of recognition and celebration to honor mothers. ![]()
