A Prayer for Mothers

Since I became a mother, I have never felt more in need of God than ever before. Motherhood for me has been a challenge, and I always feared that uncertain future with my family. I always, always pray to God that He will always be there to guide and bless our family, especially our newborn child. I always pray to Mama Mary that I will be a good mother and wife.

I would like to share this prayer to my fellow mothers. I pray for all mothers.

Good and Gentle God, we pray in gratitude for our mothers and for all the women of theory who have joined with you in the wonder of bringing forth new life. You who became human through a woman, grant to all mothers the courage they need to face the uncertain future that life with children always brings. 

Give them the strength to live and to be loved in return, not perfectly, but humanly. Give them the faithful support of husband, family and friends as they care for the physical and spiritual growth of their children. Give them joy and delight in their children to sustain them through the trials of motherhood. Most of all, give them the wisdom to turn to you for help when they need it most. Amen.
