Father,
For moms who do it all, work to provide for their families, and raise their children alone, we pray for their strength and comfort. May they never feel alone and know that you have intentionally placed people in their lives to help them. Give them the courage to ask for help when they need it and the peace to know that they are loved for who they are in this moment. May their children see the sacrifices they make and understand the time they must spend away from them. Bless and heal every wound in their hearts, Father. You are our healer and provider. May they know that they are loved, cherished and purposed, blessed with talents and abilities of their own and valuable to those in their lives. Their astonishing strength to single-handedly provide for their families requires courage and commitment. But let them know without a doubt that they never go it alone. You are always with them. May the love and peace of Jesus Christ comfort and support them on a daily basis.
In the Name of Jesus,
Amen.
