Dear God,
Wrap Your loving arms around this mother who carries so much on her shoulders.
Strengthen her when she feels weak, and remind her that she is never walking this path alone. Pour peace into the spaces where worry settles—peace for her heart, clarity for her mind, and rest for her tired spirit. Bless her home with stability, safety, and warmth. Provide what she needs—emotionally, financially, and physically—and open doors she cannot yet see. Fill her with confidence in the beautiful work she is doing, even on days when she doubts herself. Surround her and her child with people who uplift, support, and love them. May she feel Your presence in every small victory, every quiet moment of hope, and every step she takes toward a better tomorrow. In the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.
