Seek God…for God’s light to bring abundant life.
Seek God on behalf of Mothers
How precious is Your loving kindness, O God! And the children of men take refuge in the shadow of your wings. They drink their fill of the abundance of Your house; and you give them to drink of the river of your delights. For with You is the fountain of life. In your light we see light. – Psalm 36:7-9
Life’s precious but often painful journey does not begin with a first step but at the point of conception. Often times a Mother first inkling we exist is a feeling of sickness and fatigue. We were brought into being and developed by our Mothers who endured the physical pain of delivery and the emotional pain of watching us make the very mistakes she warned us against. The pain is never gone but only subsides from time to time as we stumble through live returning to our Mothers for the MILK of life (Mothers Invested Loving Kindness). Today’s prayer is inspired by John 10: 11-18 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep”. Jesus is drawing the analogy between shepherding and His being our protector. Mothers care for their offspring to the dying end, instinctively and aggressively protecting their children from harm.
Mothers are a Blessing to us all. Lord Bless the Mothers
- Bless you for Loving us as we develop in your wombs.
- Bless you for all the Loving pain you went through to deliver us.
- Bless you for all the weary long days that you held us and stayed with us when we were ill.
- Bless you for the comforting words and encouragement when our hearts are troubled and our eyes were wet with tears.
- Bless you for having the patience & a forgiving heart as you watched us walk in the way of the world and not by your words of wisdom.
- Bless you for teaching us we are Children of God and that Christ’s Eternal Love is for us.
