Can someone please find me a mothers prayer?

Question

I am looking for a prayer for mothers, when i was pregnant I found one for an expectant mother that I used to read every day, well now I need one for a mother seeing as how my daughter was born 6 months ago lol.Can someone please find a good prayer for me? I can not seem to find one that I really like ~Thanks

Answer 1

There are some on-line if you google 'mother's prayer'.  Other wise I would look at a Christian bookstore if there is one near you.

Also, check out Michael Card's Lullaby CD.  It is wonderful!  My kids go to bed with it on every night.  There is a song on it about a mother's and father's prayer.  This may sound very corny, but it makes me cry every time I listen to it.  It is so pretty:)  God bless you and your baby!!

Answer 2

Prayer for EXPECTANT Mothers:

Lord Jesus, I lovingly pray for this sweet hope

that I keep within my womb.  

You have granted me the immense gift

of a tiny little life,

living in my own life,

and I humbly thank you for choosing me

as an instrument of your love.  

In this sweet waiting,

help me to live in a constant attitude

of self-surrender to your will.

Grant me a motherly heart that is pure,

steadfast and generous.  

I hand over to you my own concerns;

any anxious fears that may come,

my own wishes for the little person

that I still have no knowledge of.  

Grant that it may be born healthy in body,

keep far from it every peril to its soul.

Mary, you have known

the ineffable joy of a holy motherhood;

give me a heart that can transmit an ardent, living faith.  

Sanctify my waiting,

bless this joyful hope that is in me,

grant that the fruit of my womb

may open out in virtue

and in holiness through your working

with that of your divine Son.

Amen.

And a funny prayer for you!:

Dear Lord, it's such a hectic day,

With little time to stop and pray,

For life's been anything but calm,

Since you called on me to be a mom.

Running errands, matching socks,

Building dreams with building blocks.

Cooking, cleaning, and finding shoes,

And other stuff that children lose.

Fitting lids on bottled bugs,

Wiping tears and giving hugs.

A stack of last week's mail to read,

So where's the quiet time I need?

Yet when I steal a minute Lord,

Just at the sink or ironing board,

To ask the blessings of your grace,

I see them in my small one's face,

That you have blessed me all the while,

As I stop to kiss that precious smile.

Answer 3

O Lord

I need your help today.

I want to care

for those you've sent into my life,

to help them develop the special gifts

you've given them.

But I also want to free them

to follow their own paths

and to bring their loving wisdom

to the world.

Help me

to embrace them without clutching,

to support them without suffocating,

to correct them without crushing.

And help me

to live joyfully and playfully, myself,

so they can see your life in me

and find their way to you.

Amen.
