Reflecting on the amazing moms in my life today......thank you!
Dear Lord,
Today we pray for mothers--our own mothers, and mothers everywhere,who have made such a major contribution to the good qualities we have, sometimes through genetics, more often through great effort and patient instruction, and who have done their best to gently polish away our rough edges.
Lord, please bless our mothers for the endless hours of time they spent and the boundless energy they invested in us.
Bless our mothers for their sacrifices on our behalf as they often gave up or deferred their own dreams so that we could have ours.
Bless our mothers for always being there for us, for being the person we know we can turn towhen we need comfort, encouragement, or just a hug.
Bless our mothers for making a home for us where we could feel safe, where we felt we belonged.
Most of all, Lord,bless our mothers for their unconditional love,for loving us no matter what,and for frequently showing love in ways that make us feel valued and cherished.
Lord, please bless our mothers mightily. Strengthen them, soothe them,wrap them in Your infinite love and shower them with blessings too numerous to count, too magnificent to describe.
We love them, admire them, respect them,and we pray that You would give them back many times the good they gave to us.
In Jesus' name we pray;
Amen.
