For Mothers
Heavenly Father,
Sundays are sacred. Feed our faith and refresh our souls in worship this morning. Through your Word, spur us on toward good deeds from the moment we leave your house until we gather again next week.
On this day we also take time to praise and thank you for the gift of mothers – our own as well as those to whom we’re married. A mother’s love is unique, and through it we gain some small sense of what your love for us looks like. Bless mothers with joy as they carry out their calling. When they are hit with waves of grief or sorrow, lift them up with your perfect love and compassion. Move families to support them and express their appreciation not only today, but daily. Such expressions of gratitude are also our offerings of thanks to you for the special gift of mothers.
In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
