Her children show their appreciation, and her husband praises her. He says, “Many women are good wives, but you are the best of them all.”
Proverbs 31:28-29, (GNT)
To the mothers carrying their first child
May the Lord bless you and enable you to bring your child to full term. I pray you’ll be confident that you were born to be a mother and have all that it takes to be a wonderful mother, so do not doubt yourself.
May the Lord surround you with good people who have walked the path you’ve just begun and grant you favour, wisdom and strength.
To all the mothers with a quiver full of joy
May our Father in heaven in whom all families are blessed fill you with extra grace and strength to see you through the seasons of short nights, changing diapers, challenging two-year-olds and endless runs necessary for your young ones. I pray that He also opens your eyes to see the golden moments He presents to you to enjoy with your children, who are young for a short time. I pray that you have the grace to savour and seize the golden opportunities and build memory moments you will treasure in years to come.
To all the mums raising a special needs child
The Lord sees you in your endeavours to do the best for your child. He hears your questions and know when sometimes you’re feeling overwhelmed with all the things you need to juggle, as well as the added pressures of the economic climate.
You are doing a good job and the Lord is pleased with you. May El Roi, the God who sees, continuously cause you to never be in lack of provisions, be it mental, emotional, social or financial.
To the mothers who are empty nesters
I Pray the Lord blesses your children and enables them to fulfil the divine purpose for which they were born.
May the Lord shepherd them and lead them to pastures green where they can create, flourish and multiply in the splendid gifts that God has given them. May they be a blessing to you and take care of you when you’re old.
To all the mothers that have lost a loved one
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted
and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
Psalms 34:18, (NIV)
May the Holy Spirit and comforter embrace you and fill your hearts with His undying love for you. May He give you beauty instead of ashes and oil of joy instead of mourning. He has not forgotten you. May Jesus dispel all darkness and gloom from your lives today.
Happy Mother’s Day!
