a prayer for mothers

Prayer for mothers
We pray for women, who through an abortive procedure, have forfeited their role as mother. Administer grace and teach them Your forgiveness.
We pray for birth mothers. Lord, fill the void in their hearts and let them never question the love they have for the children they bore.
We pray for xxpectant mothers – those who have not yet had a baby placed in their arms. Keep them healthy & well; calm their fears.
We pray for new mothers. Father, help them tap into the God-given instincts of motherhood; help them find the rest they need.
We pray for mothers of young children. Keep their energy high and give them a potter’s skill to mold their children into vessels to be used by God.
We pray for empty nesters and ask You to help them explore the boundaries of this newest phase of motherhood. Keep her children near her heart, if not near her arms.
We pray for all who mourn the death of their mother. Console them, comfort them; bring them beautiful memories of this woman in their lives.
Amen.
