"Heavenly Father, we thank You for the gift of our mothers. May these bearers of life also be bearers of Your Word. May they teach and train their children in the way they should go, so when they are old, they will not depart from it (Proverbs 22:6). Even when the children are already grown, help mothers to sow the seeds that will bear the Fruit of Your Spirit. Just as a mother’s work is never done, her prayers for her children will never end. A piece of her heart is always with them.

Lord, we’ve learned that this huge responsibility is one that has no job description. There’s no special college degree, no on-the-job training program. Help each mother to realize that You offer something even better than those things: Your Spirit and Your Word.

May the Holy Spirit guide each mother as she seeks for wisdom. Illuminate the Scriptures for here. Help her encourage her children to Honor You. Give her a Church Family that will come alongside her and show the love of Christ to her and her family. In Jesus name, we pray. Amen."
