A Mother's Day Prayer

There is no greater example of God's love for us than the love of a mother. On this day we lift up to you moms and all of those who play the role of mom in our lives.

It is in their gentle voice which our fears are swept away.

It is in their stern voice of admonishment we learn the lessons of this world.

It is in their loving words of encouragement we are released into the world to conquer our successes and learn from our failures.

It is in their caring voices of concern we are lifted up when we are down.

In our mother's heart we are never lost.

In our mother's heart we are loved the unconditional love only a mother can give.

It is in a mother's hope we will always have hope.

It's in a mother's love we will always have love.

Unconditional, freely given and with nothing expected in return.

On this Mother's Day may we all take the time to say thank you to the mothers in our lives and be reminded that they are the truest reflection of your love for us. Thank you God for giving us this perfect example of your love. May we always be worthy of this very special gift. Amen

Today I pray

Heavenly Father, I have been called to proclaim your salvation. Give me the courage to be a bold witness to your message of Love. Amen

Today I pray

Dear God, There are many in this world who live everyday in poverty and despair. Help us to seek out ways to assist them in their struggles and to be willing to take action in improving their circumstances.

You have given us the gifts and tools to make a difference in the world. While we may not be able to fix the large problems give us the wisdom and ability to fix our own little corner.

Allow us to be hope to the hopeless. Teach us to be tolerant of those with whom we may not agree and willing to serve together for the common good. You have called each of us to live with the heart of a servant. Give us the courage to do the work you have called us to do. All of this in the name of Jesus. Amen
