A Mother's Prayer

Lord, be with the mom who is sandwiched between serving the elder and younger members of her family.
Renew her as she is stretched between chores of responsibility; as she is drained trying to discern, develop, and disciple.
Deliver her from despair and send assurances of hope.
Refill her cup of compassion as it empties quicker these days.
Allow her tears to water the garden of love, joy, and peace in her soul.
Remind her that while she watches over those in her care;
You are the Great Shepherd and she is never alone.
​You are always with her.
In Jesus’ Name,
Amen.
