One of the ways you can show appreciation and love toward your mother is to pray for her during your personal time with God. However, you don’t have to pray for just your mother alone; you can also pray for other mothers out there from time to time. You can pray for your friend’s mother and all the mothers in the church. The Bible tells us that we are to always pray for other people. (I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; 1 Timothy 2:1)
What is a good prayer for mothers?
There are a lot of things that you can pray for mothers. A good prayer is praying for something that a mother needs, like grace and strength, to do her everyday duties as a mother (I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. Philippians 4:13). You can also pray a prayer of blessing for mothers, for God to bless or prosper what their hands are working on (Deuteronomy 30:9). You can also include praying for their good health, safety, and protection from any harm or danger, whether physical or spiritual.

A Child’s Prayer for All Mothers
Here is a good prayer you can pray for mothers:
Heavenly Father, I thank You for the lives of all the mothers that I know. All of us in our current and future generations wouldn’t be here if not for those who gave birth to us and raised us as well nurtured us. I pray that You will always provide them with the grace and strength they need as they go about their duties as mothers of their households. Give them the grace they need as they minister to people and help them be the salt and light to the lost. I pray for the mothers I know who are not yet followers of Jesus, that they will get to encounter Your Son Jesus and repent from their life of sin. I thank You because You always sustain them. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
Here is another prayer that you can pray:
Heavenly Father, I thank You for blessing all of us with the mothers that we have. Father, I pray that You would abundantly bless and prosper the work of their hands; not just when it comes to working in the house but also when it comes to their other endeavors. I pray that You would always protect our mothers from all kinds of harm and danger. I pray for good health to always be with them. Protect them, Father, from sickness and diseases, all by Your grace and mercy. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

What does God say about mothers in the Bible?
The Bible tells us that we should honor our mothers (Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise; Ephesians 6:2). It is one of the Ten Commandments that God gave us. These commandments were then consolidated by Jesus into just two; that is: to love God with all of our heart, soul, and mind and to love other people (Matthew 22:37-39). It means that if we truly love God, then we are to love other people. In other words, if we love God, we will also love our mothers and honor them.
A Child’s Prayer for All Mothers
The Bible tells us how we as sons/daughters should behave toward our mothers. It tells us that we should always pay attention and obey what our mothers teach us (Proverbs 1:8-9), (My son, keep thy father’s commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother: Proverbs 6:20). What our mothers teach us is for our good. The Bible also tells us that we should never curse our mothers, but instead, we should bless them (Proverbs 20:20), (Proverbs 30:11). Instead of despising our mothers, we should live a righteous life with the fear of the LORD (Proverbs 23:22-25). If we live righteously and with wisdom, we make our mothers glad.
A Child’s Prayer for All Mothers
You can pray for mothers for their sons/daughters to honor them and treat them well. Here is one of the ways to pray for this:
Heavenly Father, I pray for every young son and daughter that I know, that You would convict them, Holy Spirit, and give them the grace to always honor and love their mothers and realize everything their mothers have done for them. Help them to always listen to what their mothers are teaching because it is for their own good. Give them the grace always to live wisely and righteously so that they may make their mothers glad. May love always abound for their mothers and children shall always speak blessing to them and never despise them. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
If the mothers and their sons/daughters you know are not followers of Jesus, you should pray for them to repent and follow Christ first. Loving our mothers comes from our love for God. What mothers are doing is never easy. They have sacrificed a lot for their loved ones. Praying for all the mothers we know is one simple gesture of love we can do for them. It does not have to be Mother’s Day for you to pray for them.
