PRAYER OF PEACE:
For Ukraine, and help for all those who are suffering, grieving, or displaced, because of the evils of war.
PRAYER FOCUS:
Life-giving God, we give thanks for mothers who reflect the image of your love through their tender care and guidance. We pray for forgiveness, healing, and peace for those whose mother-child relationship is strained, hurt, or broken. Lord in your mercy, hear our prayer.
Life-giving God, We pray for those who desire to be mothers, but struggle with miscarriages, infertility, or disappointment in relationships. Comfort them, walk with them, and through it all, give them the assurance of your never-failing love. …
We give thanks for mothers who place their children for adoption and for those families who adopt them. We give thanks for foster parents. Bless them and help them to care for the precious gifts you have given them.
… We pray for single mothers who raise their children alone. Surround them with a community of support and help. …
We remember mothers who have had the great sorrow of burying their own children. We remember mothers who have died, especially those whom we name before you ….
Comfort all who mourn, and give us, with them, hope in the promise of your eternal home. Hear us O God, Your mercy is great. (Adapted from Prayers for Mothers, 2017 by Molly Sasser-Goehner)
