A Prayer for Single Moms on Mother’s Day

A Prayer for Single Moms on Mother’s Day

Father God, we thank you for each and every woman you have blessed with the privilege of motherhood. We thank you that you are teaching each single mother how to be a Godly steward of each of her children, and that they will raise them up in the ways of the Lord. Father, we pray and ask that You continue to give them grace to walk out being a single parent with kindness, goodness, gentleness, love, joy, peace, patience, and self-control. We pray that each single mother has a relationship with You, and worships You in spirit and truth.

Help each of your precious daughters to remember that although they are parenting alone, you have not left them nor forsaken them. We thank you that you see each of them, bottle every tear they have shed, and love them immensely. Lord, if they are weary, we pray that you send them a Godly sister in Christ to hold up their arms in the battle, just as Aaron did for Moses

Lord, thank you that you care about every big or small thing that concerns them. Their lives matter to you. Place a hedge of protection around each single mother and her children, Father, we ask you. We thank you that you alone are their provider. Where there seems to be lack, Father, bring them overflow and abundance in every way. We ask that you continue to teach, guide, lead, direct, encourage, equip, fortify, strengthen, and sustain each single mother-led family. We pray that the supernatural hand of God would be so evident in their lives that they could not help but give you glory, despite challenges or obstacles.

We pray against the plan and strategies of the enemy. We thank you that you have provided every tool in the arsenal for effective spiritual warfare. Lord, teach us how to fervently pray, for it avails much. Teach us endurance and tenacity and perseverance in the faith. Teach us how to war in the spirit for our children, when it seems like there is no hope. Help us continue to seek your will, your face, and your presence. In Jesus’ holy and precious name, we ask all these things. Amen.

It is through prayer that the Lord often teaches us. Sadly, too many Believers in Christ have a weak prayer life. How can you be in relationship with the Lord and not ever talk to Him?

What To Do When Your Child Is Hurting by Jennifer Maggio

I was 14 years old when a dear friend’s father left her mother. She was devastated. The fighting had gone on for months. It had been tense at home, but she never imagined her parents would actually split. We stayed up and cried together many nights in those first weeks and months. We mourned the loss of the family that would never live in the same home again. We mourned what once was and what could now never be. I listened as she shared her pain and fears of what would eventually happen and how life would never be the same. Her pain became my pain. I just wanted to help her heal, and mostly, I just felt helpless. My mother died when I was

Take the Lead by Denise Adcock

I am an avid hiker and lover of the outdoors. When I’m not hiking, I spend my time biking, kayaking, or walking. Being in God’s beautiful creation brings me joy! As a single mom, I shared my love of nature with both of my children. All three of us had bikes, so several times a week we’d ride from our house to a nearby park and hit the trails. When I look back on this today, those trail rides were some of the best experiences we had together as a single-parent family. It helped us let go of our burdens and refocus on what mattered most, our precious family. Being a mom requires courage and leadership. John Maxwell says, “A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the
