A Mother's Prayer for Today

Dear Heavenly Father,

As I begin a new day,
I pray that You will give me the strength, wisdom,
patience, and understanding I will need to be the mother my children need,
and the the mother You want me to be.

I pray my children will learn from me,by example,and that I would be a good example
for them to learn from.

I pray that You will protect these precious lives from harm and evil,
and that never for one moment today, will I forget the fact that these children are Yours, and a gift to me that You have entrusted me to guide back to You.


Please help me to be slow to anger, and quick to forgive as You have forgiven me too many times to count.

Let my love pour out to these lives,that they may know Your Fatherly love from my motherly love.

Help me to lift them up as individuals and bring out their strengths and gifts,
to fulfill Your purposes for them.

I pray that they will feel Your presence and do what's right and holy.

I pray they will do Your Will throughout their life, that their relationship with You will be strong and steadfast.

But most of all, I pray when their time on earth is done,
they will meet You face to face and rejoice with You in Heaven.

Please let me be a reflection of You to these precious lives today.

In Jesus' name,
Amen.
