A Mother’s Day Prayer

Thank you, Lord, that you fill a mother’s heart with love.
Thank you for giving her the gifts of nurturing, teaching and comforting.

Fill every mother with love, wisdom and endurance, 
with strength and patience and joy.
Enable her to rely on You and call upon You, because You will give her all she needs.

May those with children feel appreciated.

May those grieving empty arms be comforted.

May those mourning and missing the ones who gave them life be wrapped in goodness and love today.

We pray in Christ’s Name,

Amen.
