7 Heartwarming Prayers for Mothers
December 2022
Alberta Vadnais
I love finding ways to feel God in my day, whether I’m going to work or cooking dinner. I make sure I’m connected to Him by listening to Bible stories, sermons, praying, and singing praise songs. All the apps I test are introduced into my everyday life so that I can feel their usability on a daily basis.
Mothers are gems. Pure gems. Life is so much better with your mother in it.
She offers a shoulder for you to cry on, she listens to your anxieties and fears. She sacrifices her time and energy just to see you smile, she teaches you patiently, prays over you, has sleepless nights to make sure you’re doing okay.These are a few of the daily sacrifices mothers make for their children.
As a son or a daughter, it is not the will of God for you to forget or ignore these sacrifices. The Bible teaches us to reciprocate them with honor. It explicitly tells us to honor our father and mother in Ephesians 6:2;
“Honor your father and mother,” which is the first commandment with promise:
(Ephesians 6:2 NKJV)
There are several ways you can translate honor into your actions. You can honor her with respectful words and by serving her, to make life easier for her.
Unrelentless heartfelt prayer is one of the best ways to show the value and the level of priority you place on your mother. With everything she’s done for you, your mother is deserving of your deep, prevalent prayers.
Don’t have any ideas on where to start? These heartwarming prayers below can serve as a starting point for you. Show your mother how much you love and care by praying for her.
Prayer For Mom’s Protection
Beloved Lord,
I thank you for protecting and safely keeping my mom all these years.
I pray that you continue to protect my mother. Keep her from all attacks of the enemy. Please shield her away from bad friends and bad advice so that she may fulfill her duties as a mother, sister, and wife and chase hard after your heart.
Help her walk in the path you have destined for her. May she never stray away from your divine purpose, no matter how quick and unnoticeable it might be. Please give her the spirit of discernment to know what path to take and when she should take it. Guide her my Father.
Thank you, Jesus. Amen.
A Prayer For Mother’s Strength
Dear Father,
Being a mother can be overwhelming. Somehow my mom has to keep up with planning and making a nutritious meal, working to take care of us kids, and keeping up with the necessary details of our lives. She has to show up to support us, endure tantrums and so much more.
I pray that you give my mother the strength to do all these and even more of her personal plans. Clothe her with your infallible strength as she fulfills the calling of raising the children you have entrusted in her hands. She will not fall, fail, or break down because you are with her. Thank you for your continuous help in her life.
Thank you, Jesus. Amen.
Healing Prayer For Mom
Dear Jesus,
My mum isn’t in the best place right now physically. Please place your healing hands upon my mother’s body.
You died for us and gave us the gift of healing and good health through your death on the cross. With this knowledge, I command every form of sickness to leave her body. She is healed from the crown of her head to the sole of her feet. She is thoroughly healed with no trace of the disease left in her. Please make her whole just as you made the woman of the issue of blood whole in the bible. I completely trust in your love and in your power. I know that you desire that she will be in good health. I know that you will heal my mother. Thank you for answering my prayers, Jesus.
In Jesus’ name. Amen.
A Daughter’s Prayer For Her Mother
Dear Jesus,
You gave me my mother and you gave my mother me. The sync between us as mother and daughter is amazing. It is evident that only you can make this kind of relationship. Thank you for our unity and love, Lord! Thank you, for the gift you have given us in each other.
I pray that our bond strengthens and grows even tighter. Help me learn from her as she displays all the virtues I need to emulate. Protect her and guide her. Her remaining years shall be years of bliss for her. Please keep her safe in all she does. Give me the grace to be all that she needs me to be at this moment.
Thank you, Jesus. Amen.

Good God,
Thank you for a life well lived by my mother. I will surely miss her dearly, but I know that you did what was best. You brought her into the world and you took her home. Thank you for giving her to me as my mother.
I am so glad that she’s in a place where there is no pain. I am happy she’s safe and healthy with You. May she rest in your paradise, and join the heavens to sing praises to your name till we meet again. Help me to honor her memory with every good act of service I do.
Thank you, Jesus. Amen.
