Father,
For moms who do it all, work to provide for their family and raise their children alone, we pray for strength and comfort. May they never feel alone and know You have purposefully placed people in their lives to help them. Give them the courage to reach out for help when they need it, and peace to know they are loved for who they are right now. May their children see the sacrifices they make and understand the time they must spend apart from them. Bless and heal any hurt in their hearts, Father. You are our Healer and Provider. May they know they are loved, cherished, and purposed, gifted with talents and abilities unique to them and valuable to those who border their lives. Their astonishing strength to sustain their families single-handedly takes bravery and commitment. But may they undoubtedly know they never go it alone. You are with them, always. May the love and peace of Jesus Christ comfort and sustain them every day.
In Jesus’ Name,
Amen.
