Prayer to Mothers

Our Great God and Heavenly Father, we thank you that you are the giver of all life. And we thank you that you are a relational God.

We praise you for creating motherhood.

We thank you for the women in our congregation who are mothers, through birth, adoption, or fostering.

We pray, Father, that you will be their joy in the delights of motherhood. That you will be their comfort in the difficulties and sorrows that come with being a mum.

We pray for all our mothers, whether married or single, that they will be supported by family members, friends, and all of us here, as their church family. We pray that we will support them spiritually, physically, and relationally.

We thank you for those in our church who are grandmothers and great-grandmothers. Help them share and model Christian wisdom and love to their younger generations. We praise you, Lord, for those of us who have enjoyed the numerous blessings of a good mother.

We pray for those of us whose mothers have died, or who are ill, and for any complexities we have with those griefs, that you will console us. That we will take to heart that we are your precious children and that you never let us go.

In your mercy, please save any of our mothers who are not Christian.

We pray for any of us who have a complex relationship, or no relationship, with our mothers, or whose mothers have harmed us, that you, God of all goodness and love, will continue to comfort us and give us wisdom. And as a church family, that we will care for those amongst us who have difficult relationships with their mothers.

Amen.
