I have come across a lot of different prayers and thoughts for Mother's Day, but this is one that I really found meaningful. I have taken the liberty of changing a few words and lines, but I give the full credit to Rebecca Barlow Jordan for the majority of the inspirational words.
"Dear Lord, Bless every mother, grandmother and women
with the finest of your spiritual blessings today. Confirm in her heart and
spirit the work of her hands and the love that she has freely given to the
children and people under her care. Validate her worth daily so she has no
doubt that she is loved, valued, and cherished in your eyes.
Create
in her a deep sense of your protection and trust, so that worry and fear
disappear as she places her loved ones into your care. Let her know that every
prayer she has prayed and every encouraging word she has spoken have been
transformed into sweet, fragrant offerings.
Whisper
deep within her spirit the sweet words she longs to hear from you. Show her
that nothing can ever separate her from your love. Help her to nestle daily
into the promises of your Word, standing with faith on the things you declare
are true. Let her know that you reward faithfulness, and that true success
doesn’t lie in accomplishments or accolades.
Let
her rest in knowing that she has done all she can and that she and those she
loves truly belong to you. Bless her with a servant spirit so she can teach her
own the joy of hearing one day, “Well done!”
Let her joy be contagious; let her passion be pure; and let her life overflow with all the blessings she deserves—on special days, and on every day of her life. In Jesus’ name. Amen. (Adapted from Rebecca Barlow Jordan)
May all mothers, grandmothers, and women in general, have a blessed day today.
Living in Grace
