Based on everything we shared, A mother’s job is never done. And in today’s world, there’s always something (and someone) screaming for Mom’s attention. No wonder moms feel pulled in many directions. So, we wanted to provide a gift for mom.
While being a mom might be one of the most fulfilling jobs globally, it’s probably also one of the toughest.
That’s why it’s so important for moms to have the support to make mothering easier.
As we approach Mother’s Day, this is an excellent time to partner with moms to help them fulfill their God-given role. Here is the most important gift for mom. One of the best ways to support moms is through prayer.
Hi, it’s Marva from SunSparkleShine here! And today, I’m pleased to be guest posting for Horace. I’m sharing some tips on partnering in prayer on behalf of moms.
Consider this our gift to you and your moms everywhere.
And because we know that moms also love beautiful, inspiring images, we’ve included some graphics with popular quotes you can pass on to your favorite moms. Right-click on the image to save and download.
We encourage you to share these images on social media (perfect for Instagram and Facebook – tag the mom you want to inspire in your post). Or you can send them by email to let your mom’s friends know you’re thinking about them and cheering them on. We ask that you leave the images as they are with the watermarks included.
Now let’s jump right in.

10 Prayer Prompts for Moms
Here are ten prayer prompts to get you started – this is your gift to that special mom.
1. Pray for her to love God’s word
And it is my prayer that your love may abound more and more, with knowledge and all discernment.
2. Pray for her to know her worth
I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Wonderful are your works;
my soul knows it very well.
3. Pray for her to have wisdom
But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere.
4. Pray for her to enjoy peace
And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

5. Pray for her patience
With patience a ruler may be persuaded,
and a soft tongue will break a bone.
6. Pray for her to lead her children by example
Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ.

7. Pray for her to be gentle
A soft answer turns away wrath,
but a harsh word stirs up anger.
8. Pray for her to trust God’s plan for her children
You keep him in perfect peace
whose mind is stayed on you,
because he trusts in you.
9. Pray for her to enjoy community with other believers
I am a companion of all who fear you,
of those who keep your precepts.
10. Pray for her to love well
Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins.

Thank you Sherry for your visit and your encouraging words. Marva did an outstanding job. I am so thankful she volunteered to share here heart here today. She is always welcome here. Prayer is such a powerful tool that we have available to us. May we always take advantage of the opportunity to go to God in prayer. Thank you again for your visit.

It warms my heart to read your words, Sherry because this was exactly my hope — that we would be inspired to minister to other moms through our prayers. I’m joining you right now in lifting up both you and your friend. God knows your exact needs and He’s always right on time!
Blessings to you!
Thanks for sharing these suggestions, Marva. My own mother passed away 7 years ago, but I just prayed all these prayers over my daughters as their mom!
Thanks for the visit Lisa. I just dropped by your site a minute ago to say hello. I’m so glad the prayers Marva included were helpful. The post she created is spectacular and I thank her for doing this. Be well my friend and have a blessed #MothersDaweekend.
Lisa, I’m so sorry that you lost your mom. Having lost my dad nearly 2 years ago I know that the pain stays with you for longer than anyone can imagine. I pray that as you celebrate your daughters this Mother’s Day, the special memories you create together will warm your heart in a special way.
Thank you for joining us in praying for other moms. And of course, a very Happy Mother’s Day to you!
My mom is in heaven now but it was HER prayers that never gave up on me! So grateful.
Amen Susan. I am thankful for all the prayers my mother continues to send up to Heaven for me. Have a blessed day.
Dear Susan, I’m sorry that your mom isn’t with you but grateful for the many prayers she must’ve prayed over you. You are a blessing to many and I pray that you will be surrounded by love and comfort.
Blessings to you!
Hi Marva and Horace – what a wonderful way to honor moms and such great prayer prompts. I love the prayer that she knows her worth. Momming can often feel thankless but it’s one of the most important things I do. Thanks for sharing these graphics and prayers!
I have to give a huge THANK YOU for Marva and her willingness to do a Mother’s day post. It is such a beautiful and encouraging post. My mother left a comment on FB too. Well done Marva! Thank you Tiffany for stopping by today. I’m so glad you enjoyed this post. Have a fantastic day and a blessed #MothersDay weekend.
You’re so right, Tiffany, some days can feel downright hard and thankless and we might even begin to wonder why we do it. Thankfully, we have a God who sees us and offers a reward that compares to none. Let’s keep encouraging one another as best we can.
You can do it, my friend! Happy Mother’s Day!!!
Oh my goodness! This is so rich, Marva.
Please, can you make it a PDF copy and/or Pinterest.
This is a resource material for women.
Thank you Horace and Marva
Blessings to you
So thrilled you enjoyed Marva’s post Ifeoma. It is great to hear from you. She is having some computer issues, but you will hear from her soon. Have a fantastic Mother’s day weekend, friend. God bless.
Aww…thank you, Ifeoma. That’s a great idea and I’ll chat with Horace to see how best we can share with more moms on social media. So glad you enjoyed it.
Happy Mother’s Day to you, dear friend!
Wonderful post, Horace! Prayer is the greatest gift! I love all the prayers from Scripture and the quotes. Blessings!
Yes Karen. Marva did a fantastic job in doing this post. Prayer is definitely a blessing from God. We have 24-hour access to the Father because of the sacrifice Jesus made for us on the cross. Thanks for the visit today. Have a wonderful weekend and God bless.
Karen, I’m glad you enjoyed the prayer prompts and quotes. Horace and I are so pleased to spread a little sunshine to help make mothering easier.
Blessings to you!
Yes, Prayer! I’ll take it! Beautiful post Marva!
I sure need it too, Crystal.
Thank you so much for stopping by and offering a word of encouragement. We appreciate you so much!
Blessings to you!
Horace, it was such a blessing to read this post again as we approach another Mother’s Day. I pray it continues to encourage others to keep moms in prayer — it truly is one of the best gifts we can give our moms today.
Please wish your mom a very wonderful Mother’s Day for me.
Wishing you continued blessings!
Thank you, Marva, and thanks again for your offer to write a blog post for my website several years ago. I have never forgotten your willingness to help me in my time of need. You know that I truly cherish prayer and absolutely love this post that you wrote. I too, pray that it encourages and blesses all the mothers who read this year. Lord knows we are all still in need of much prayer these days. May God continue to bless you and your family, dear sister in Christ.
Absolutely love these prayers, thanks for sahring.
Thank you for visiting. Glad you were blessed by the prayers in this post!
