We have been being very intentional here at Freedom to find more and more moments to go to God in prayer. We want to build the habit of prayer in every way that we can and so as I was thinking about theming this week's devotional around Mother's Day, I began to look for ways to pray for the moms in my life.

I invite you to pray this prayer (or, of course, pray using your own words) for your mom and any other mom that you know. Whether she knows Jesus or not, this prayer asks that she would know Him and His affirmation above anything else in her life - and that is the best gift she can have in this life.

Happy Mother's Day (I love you, mom!),
Pastor Tracy

_______________________

Dear Lord, Bless every mother and every grandmother with the finest of your spiritual blessings today. Confirm in her heart and spirit the work of her hands and the love that she has so freely given to those children under Your care. Validate her worth daily, so she has no reason to doubt whether she is loved, valued, and cherished in the eyes of her Heavenly Father.

Create in her a deep sense of your protection and trust, so that worry and fear will disappear as she places her loved ones into Your care. Let her know that every prayer she has prayed and every encouraging word she has spoken on behalf of her children/grandchildren has been transformed into sweet, fragrant offerings before Your throne.

Whisper deep within her spirit the sweet words she longs to hear from You—that nothing can ever separate her from Your love. Help her to nestle daily into the promises of Your Word, standing with faith on the things You declare are true. Let her know that You reward faithfulness, but that true success doesn’t lie in her accomplishments or accolades. Let her rest in the knowledge that she has done all she can—and that she and those she loves—truly belong to you. Bless her with a servant spirit so she can teach her own the joy of hearing one day, “Well done!”

Let her joy be contagious; let her passion be pure; and let her life overflow with all the blessings she deserves—on special days, and on every day of her life. In Jesus’s name, Amen.
