Prayer For Mother
Updated March 28, 2025, by Catherine Pulsifer
A mother’s love is one of life’s greatest blessings. She gives, she sacrifices, and she prays—often without us ever knowing. Every mother holds her children close in prayer, asking God to guide, protect, and bless them. So, shouldn't we do the same for her?
Whether your mother is near or far, whether she's still with you or held in your heart, offering a prayer for her is a beautiful way to show love and appreciation. Our prayers don’t need to be fancy or filled with big words. Sometimes the simplest prayer—“Thank You, God, for my mom”—can mean the most.
In honor of the mothers who have shaped our lives, may these prayers be ones you use and cherish. Let us remember to lift our mothers up to the Lord, just as they’ve always done for us.

A Prayer for My Mother
Poet: Kate Summers
Father God watch over my Mom each day
Bless her each day I pray
Give her your comfort and love
In a way, she knows it's from above.
She has given so much to me
I thank you for this Mother you see
Without her encouragement and support
I would have never known you, my Lord.

I Said a Mother's Prayer for You
Poet: Unknown
I said a Mother's Day prayer for you
To thank the Lord above
For blessing me with a lifetime
Of your tenderhearted love.
I thanked God for the caring
You've shown me through the years,
For the closeness we've enjoyed
In time of laughter and of tears.
And so, I thank you from the heart
For all you've done for me
And I bless the Lord for giving me
The best mother there could be!

Mothers And Others
Poet: Amos R. Wells
Others weary of the noise,
Mothers play with boys and girls.
Others scold because we fell,
Mothers "kiss and make it well."
Others work with patient will,
Mothers labor later still.
Others' love is more or less
Mothers love with steadiness.
Others pardon, hating yet;
Mothers pardon and forget.
Others keep the ancient score,
Mothers never shut the door.
Others grow incredulous,
Mothers still believe in us.
Others throw their faith away
Mothers pray and pray, and pray.

I Pray
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
I pray to you my Lord above,
Guide my mother with your love,
Watch over her through it all,
In life’s joys, and from its fall.
Bless her days and nights each one,
Let your presence ever be One.
Protect her body, mind, and heart,
Each day, give to her a brand new start.
Oh Lord, I thank you for your grace,
My Mother's here in my embrace.
Give my Mom peace and content,
Let nothing cause her to lament.

A Prayer for My Mother in Heaven
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
Dear Lord above, I come in prayer,
With thoughts of Mom, no longer here.
Though she's now in heaven’s care,
I feel her love still everywhere.
I thank You for the years we shared,
For all the ways she showed she cared.
Her gentle hands, her kind advice,
Her loving heart, a gift so nice.
I miss her voice, her warm embrace,
But know she’s in a better place.
Please tell her, Lord, I love her so,
And thank You more than she could know.
Until we meet again one day,
I'll honor her in every way.
With grateful heart, I lift this prayer,
For my sweet Mom in heaven fair.

A Prayer for a Mother’s Strength
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
Lord, I come to You today,
Please give my Mom strength, I pray.
For all she does, both big and small,
May Your power help her through it all.
When she’s tired, be her rest,
When she’s burdened, give her your best.
Wrap her in Your endless grace,
Let joy and peace light up her face.
She gives so much, she rarely asks,
Always faithful in her tasks.
So now I lift her name to You,
Bless her heart in all she’ll do.

All the years she gave me care
All the things she willingly shared.
Watch over her each day
Protect her in every way.
Bless her life with good things
May happiness her life bring.
