A prayer to God from a mother

 

Lord, help me to be a Mother
You chose me to be
A parent with a loving heart,
The mother of my children.

Give me wisdom and courage.
I will be a just and faithful leader,
So I could live through you, Lord,
I could be an example of good.

Teach me patience and understanding,
Also grant me compassion and kindness,
So my daughters may wish for a tender heart,
Be kind, forgiving and true.

Help me show them the way to salvation,
Lord, and the value of their souls,
So they can support love, hope and faith,
This will lead them on their way home.

Remind me to hold them tight
And tenderly let them go
So they could feel my comfort and my love
When sometimes they can feel alone.

And in the absence of our body, Lord,
I am praying that they will know
The only need they would have
It is what I instilled in their heart and soul.
