Mother's Day Prayer

Dear God,

It’s Mother Day! 

A day to celebrate those who have given us life.

A day to celebrate those who continue to give us life.

For the life You give and the love You share with us – we are grateful. 

For mothers who work night and day to raise children – we give You thanks.

Help us, the church, to uphold all families and people in our life together. 

For expectant mothers who carry new life – we wait and hope with you. 

For new mothers who have experienced new life – we rejoice with you. 

For mothers who have blessed relationships with their children – we celebrate with you. 

To mothers of little ones who clean up spills and fight fatigue – we are grateful for you. 

To mothers of teens who face the challenges of motherhood – we are better because of you. 

To mothers of adults and grandmothers – we are blessed by your continued care. 

For mothers who have experienced miscarriage or have lost a child – we grieve with you. 

For mothers who are sending a child to college – we pray for you during this complex time. 

For mothers who are overwhelmed – we pray for rest, peace, power, wisdom, and grace. 

For women struggling with infertility or wanting to be a mom – we pray with you. 

For people who have lost mothers – we mourn with you and pray for you. 

For people who are distant from their mother – we offer our hand and our love. 

It’s Mother’s Day! 

Being a mother is challenging and we are beyond grateful for moms. 

And we are blessed to know that mothers, at their best, give us a glimpse of Your love. 

Amen.
