MOTHER'S DAY
BLESSING & PRAYER
BLESSING & PRAYER
For a simple prayer or something to write in your mom's card this
year, this seems very appropriate:-
I Said a Mother's Prayer for You
Author Unknown
I said a Mother's Day prayer for you
to thank the Lord above
for blessing me with a lifetime
of your tenderhearted love.
I thanked God for the caring
you've shown me through the years,
for the closeness we've enjoyed
in time of laughter and of tears.
And so, I thank you from the heart
for all you've done for me
and I bless the Lord for giving me
the best mother there could be!
Mother’s Day blessing & prayer
Pastor Ed, from Salisbury Vineyard church, read the following out at
our mother's day service last year. He asked all the mums to stand
- and then read this blessing-prayer out to us all.
We were all very moved by the words - I hope that this will bless you
too:-
Before our God, and before one another, we want to honour you
and the work you do. For we live in a society that overlooks and
belittles your God given status. But we say that you are blessed.
For you have been called, set aside, commissioned to bear fruit –
fruit that will last.
We declare that your work is holy work. It is sacred. It is Christ-like.
For we recognise that you lay down your lives for others, that you
give without thought of cost or repayment. You serve above and
beyond what is seen or asked for. You bless and you love in ways
that words cannot capture. Your thinking is so often of others, your
time spent on others, your prayers spent on others. You are a
blessing to others. You have indeed laid down your whole lives.
This is a high calling. To nurture and shepherd God’s own children.
For this we honour you. And in this calling we bless you.
We bless you to be wise. To see what is hidden, to hear what is not
said, and to do what has been undone. To know when to speak
and when to listen.
We bless your discernment. May it be sharpened. May your
prayers be arrows in a bulls eye. May you hear the whisper of God
on behalf of His children.
We bless your words. May you speak goodness and kindness into
your children. May you strengthen, encourage and comfort with
great skill. May your children thrive in your praise and correction.
We bless your time. May God bless your sleeping and your waking.
May you have the time you need. May you have time to laugh and
time to reflect. May you have time to share deeply with dear friends,
to walk closely with your God.
We bless you to be free. Free from the expectations of others and
the eye of the world. May you be free to be yourself and free to
enjoy all that God gives you. May you be free to allow your children
the freedom to discover their call in God.
We bless the work of your hands. May you find God in the
mundane and know Him in the business. May your homes be
blessed with peace and love. May they be places of light and joy.
We bless you to be a reflection of God. To reflect to others the
meaning of love, of truth and hope, of faith and trust, and grace, of
generosity and humility. To embody these before us. May your
children see you walk the narrow way, may your investment in them
be not just for this age, but also for those to come.
We bless you: Name by name
Come Holy Spirit. See these anointed ones. We ask that you would
increase your anointing on them.
We ask that God would grant you, according to the riches of His
glory, to be strengthened with might through His spirit in your inner
woman. That Christ will dwell in your hearts through faith, that you,
being rooted and grounded in love may be able to comprehend
together with all the saints, what is the width and length and depth
and height – to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge.
That you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
We set you aside. You are a blessing to your families, and a
blessing to this church. Thank you. Well done. And may Christ be
with you.
May God bless you this mother's day and every day.
