Psalm 139:12-14 (New International Version)
"...even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you. For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well."
Proverbs 23:21-23 (New International Version)
"...for drunkards and gluttons become poor, and drowsiness clothes them in rags. Listen to your father, who gave you life, and do not despise your mother when she is old. Buy the truth and do not sell it; get wisdom, discipline and understanding."
A Prayer for Mother's Day
Gracious God, We thank You for adopting us into Your family through the miracle of Your grace, and for calling us to be brothers and sisters to each other.
Today, loving God, we pray for our mothers: who cared for us when we were helpless
who comforted us when we were hurt, whose love and care we often took for granted.
Today we pray for: those who are grieving the loss of their mother, those who never knew their biological mother, and now yearn for her, those who have experienced the wonder of an adopted mother's love, the families separated by war or conflict. Lord, give them special blessings. Keep us united with You and with each other, so that we can be and become all that we are meant to be. Amen.
