Here's a Mother's Day prayer:
God our creator, we come before You and lift up in prayer all mothers, grandmothers, stepmothers, and mothers to be
who gave the gift of life. We give you thanks for their presence, talents, and gifts which they share in our church,
society and world. May all mothers know of Your loving and gentle presence and may they always turn towards You in times of joy, sorrow, and glory. We ask this in Your name. Amen.
