Being a mother

can be the most tiring  job on earth.

I feel tired....

Dear Lord,

Refresh me when I feel tired.

Refocus me when I feel overwhelmed.

Revive me when I feel defeated.

Remind me when I get forgetful.

Lord,

in the next prayer,

I pour out my heart to you.

Help me to be the outstanding mother

that I long to be.

Dear Lord God,

Create in me a humble heart.

Bring me the wisdom I need to be a great mom.

Remind me to draw close to you every day.

I long to be the kind of mom that my child will not only love, but also respect, admire, and enjoy -  both in childhood and later in adulthood.

Lord, help me to love my child in a way that will deeply nourish my child.

I want my love for my child to express itself in  thoughtfulness and encouragement.

I want to notice and celebrate the wonderful uniqueness of my child.

I desire to display a happy, relaxed attitude that can easily make room for instances of joy and laughter.

I yearn to have an understanding heart that shows my child that I am approachable even when he/she needs to give me bad news or tell me unpleasant things.

When my child is away from me, I want my child to picture me with a smile on my face and welcoming arms.

Lord, I want to daily model for my child a Christian walk of integrity and devotion to you. I want to model and to teach my child that the most important thing in life is to be dedicated to you.

Lord, I already feel like a failure as I look back over this prayer.

Lord, help me to pursue all these things without beating myself up when I fail.  Help me remember that I don’t have to be perfect, to be a great mom.

Remind me to encourage myself and forgive myself as I walk this path of motherhood.

In Jesus' name I pray,

Amen
