A Prayer for Our Mothers

 

Scripture Reading

Psalm 97:1-9, I Corinthians 2:9-12

 

Reflections of the Heart:

As you count the Omer this evening, say this, “This is the 32nd day of the Omer. We praise You, O Lord our God, King of the Universe, who has sanctified us by Jesus Christ, our eternal Redeemer and Savior, and commanded us to count the Omer.  By faith, we wait with joyful hearts to celebrate the sending of Your Holy Spirit.”

 

Scriptural Prayer:

 

Heavenly Father, we thank You for blessing our mothers. We declare our thanks and devotion to You for Your goodness and loving kindness towards them.  We thank You for creating each of them in Your image. Thank You for Your plans for good and not for disaster, to give them a future and a hope.  Lord, You are our God and there is none other, we worship You in the beauty of Your Holiness.  You are the true and living God to whom all honor and glory belongs.  We will love You, Lord our strength.  You are our rock, our fortress and our deliverer.  You are our God, our strength in whom we will trust. 

 

Wonderful Father, we declare that our mothers are more than conquerors through Christ Jesus. We confess with holy boldness that our mothers will give their children the Word of God, daily structure, love, discipline, encouragement, healthy lifestyle practices and a good education.  As mothers, they will train up their children in the way they should go and when they are old they will not depart from it.  We confess that our mothers will not copy the behavior and customs of this world, but they are transformed by the Holy Spirit to do what is good and pleasing and perfect in Your sight.  We decree that the fruit of love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control is operable in their lives.  The light of Jesus is reflected in their actions.  We confess that they are virtuous women and their price is far above rubies. 

 

I will pray the following for a mother this month:

 

 

Our Father, we ask You to fill our mothers with the knowledge of Your Word in all wisdom and spiritual understanding. Please order their days so that their daily activities are balanced and fruitful.  Make the crooked places in their lives straight and perfect those things that concern them.  Teach our mothers to develop the individual spiritual gifts and talents of their children.  Restore the broken or struggling relationships between mothers and children. Increase Your love in those mother/child(ren) relationships that are doing well.  Holy Spirit, comfort those who have experienced the death of their mother and equip us as a Church Family to provide the support that they may need.


Loving Father, forgive our mothers for sins, such as jealousy, gossip, malice, back biting, bitterness and unforgiveness (list any additional sins).  Forgive them for not trusting You with their lives.  Forgive those for quick tempers and lack of patience. Forgive those mothers who are not raising their children according to Your Word.  Forgive those who allow the television, radio, video games, music, older siblings and activities to raise their children. Forgive those mothers for negative words and deeds against their children’s father.  Forgive those who are still holding on to past hurts and offenses and refuse to let them go. As for me, forgive me for (list any sins that you have committed).  Holy Spirit, remind our mothers of those they need to forgive and help them to be quick to forgive.  As for me, Holy Spirit, bring to my remembrance those I need to forgive.  (Take a moment and ask the Holy Spirit to reveal names or faces of people that you may need to forgive.  As He reveals them, say, “I forgive name of person(s).”  Now, trust the Lord to heal any wounds in your soul caused by unforgiveness.)

 

Holy Spirit, help our mothers not to yield to temptation but deliver them from the evil one.

 

All glory belongs to You, the only God and Savior through Jesus Christ our Lord.  All glory, majesty, power, and authority are Yours before all time, and in the present, and beyond all time!  In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
