Mother’s day prayers

Lord, I lift up all pregnant first time mothers right now. Jesus I thank you for the gift of motherhood. I ask that you strengthen them and give them peace. Lord God, still any fears or worries, and give them faith in your ability to keep them and their baby throughout this season. I pray that they will give birth like the Hebrew women in Exodus. Surround them with caring doctors and medical professionals. God, remind your precious daughters that you already know the child in them, and that your plans for the child and mother are good and pure. Be glorified in both of them. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

God, we pray for a pregnant mother. We thank you for their life and that they carry a special gift from you.

Watch over mother and baby, we ask O Lord and bless them both. Amen.

God as she recovers and embarks on this chapter of motherhood, surround her with a supportive community of friends and family. Lord, supply all her needs and may her baby not lack anything. Lord, reassure her that you have her future and that of her child in your mighty hands. Whenever she feels unsure or overwhelmed, Lord may she look to you for guidance and grace, knowing that you are always there for her. Amen.

God, I thank you for my sister and celebrate Mother’s Day for her. I thank you for helping her raise child/​children. Lord, continue to give her wisdom and direction. Thank you for her dedication, resilience and strength — she is a blessing to her family. Today, I ask that you continue to bless her with all she needs. I hope she gets more moments to rest and recharge. I am so grateful for all she does. Amen.

Lord, I thank you for my mother’s touch and my mother’s embrace,

For the way my heart rests when I see her face. 

You surround her with a force of blessing so strong,

Her power is in her kindness and her love is long.

You provide her with wisdom to council me right,

I recall her strength from many a night.

From a baby until now, her love is steadfast,

I’m honoured to be hers and to proclaim it proud at last.

Lord, bless all types of mothers today. Grandmothers, aunts, cousins who have taken on the role of mother for children and adults across the world.

Lord, we remember dads who are raising children alone. Father, whatever the circumstance may be, you know them by name and know their situation. Today may be a difficult day for fathers and their children, so Lord we pray for strength, for grace and for peace. God, may the love that they have for one another be a source of comfort and may know how deep your love for them is. Amen.

Lord in your wisdom, you gave us this bible verse, ​‘honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you.’ (Exodus 20:12) God we know that only you are perfect so help us honour this verse. I pray for those who need grace to apply this verse because for one reason or another things are difficult. Lord, we know you are full of mercy and will help us. Amen. 

Heavenly Father, we remember this verse from your word in Psalm 139:13 ​‘for you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.’ Thank you, Lord, for being the author of life. Thank you for forming me in my mother’s womb. Thank you for the strength and grace you gave my mother to give birth to me. Lord, things may not be perfect but I am grateful for life, for the opportunity to live, and move and have my very being in you. Amen.
