*Unison Prayer

Good and gentle God, we pray in gratitude for our mothers and for the mother figures in our lives. You who became human through a woman, grant to mothers the courage they need to boldly face the uncertain future that life always brings. Give them the strength to live and to be loved in return. Give them the faithful support of spouses, family, and friends as they care for the physical and spiritual growth of their children and of others whom they mother. Give them joy and delight in the great blessings they bring to all of our lives. Most of all, give them the wisdom to turn to You for help when they need it most. Amen.

*Scripture

Ephesians 31:25-31 (NIV)

25 She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come.

26 She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue.

27 She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness.

28 Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her:

29 “Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all.”

30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.

31 Honor her for all that her hands have done, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.
