Mother's Day

Mother’s Day can stir a complex mix of emotions—joy, grief, disappointment, or longing—and regardless of our circumstances, God invites us to bring our whole hearts to Him, offering comfort, strength, and grace to sustain us through every joy and sorrow.

No matter what you face this Mother’s Day, you can turn to God and experience peace and healing through prayer. We have collected several prayers that can apply to your journey of motherhood. It is our hope that these will encourage your soul and speak life into your calling as a mom.

He gives us the means to embrace His love so we can give ourselves space to grieve and grace to heal.

Discover why motherhood is far more than “just” a role—it’s a sacred, soul-shaping calling that echoes God’s redemptive plan and leaves an eternal legacy.

If youve got the card and maybe even some flowers or chocolate but want more thoughts on how to work together as a family to show the mom in your life how much shes loved, here are some ideas for you.

This day is a rare invitation to rest and recharge. Make sure you ask us how that can best be accomplished. Give us the guilt-free space we very infrequently receive to invest in doing something we enjoy just for ourselves. Maybe it's going to a movie, taking a hike, free time at the gym, a pedicure, time to read a book, a meet up with someone special, or whatever else helps to fill our cup so that we can show up everyday as moms with grace and love.

Mother’s Day can be deeply painful and complicated for many stepmoms—especially those without biological children—as they often feel unrecognized, excluded, and emotionally conflicted, making it essential to honor their unique experiences with empathy, understanding, and intentional support.

If you are a mom or grandmom, you are deserving of blessing and honor for who you are and for all you do. No matter what your age - single or married - here is a prayer of blessing for you for every good work, every good word, and for every act of love you have ever offered on behalf of the ones you love.

However, this will mark the second Mother's Day I will celebrate without her precious presence. I still have "all the feels" when it comes to this holiday. As it approaches, it comes with many strings attached. Being that this was the first holiday after she was called to her eternal home, it also holds a bittersweet place in my heart. Mother's Day is indeed difficult.

The daily grind of motherhood can feel mundane, unseen, and unimportant in a world that values measurable success rather than meaningful relationships. Yet, we know that moms are world changers through our everyday faithful influence that we are devoted to nurturing in our homes. History shows us how simple acts of faithfulness and love can greatly impact our world!

I read of a letter that a husband reportedly wrote to his wife. She had left him and their son after a fight, and two days later he wrote her this letter:

Yet, there was one thing the miscarriage couldn’t take from me: the fact that I had become a mother.

Mother’s Day was to become a day of bittersweet, yes, celebration. This was a day I could boldly walk up to the lady at church handing out carnations and say “yes” when they asked me if I was a mother.Because I am.Not was.I am.I am a mother of three.
