I will not lie and tell you I haven't had scary thoughts about my pregnancy - every bad story I hear, makes me a little nervous. I thank God for family and friends that continually pray and have faith though.
Anyways, on this Mothers Day, I want to send thoughts and prayers to any woman near or far, who has dealt with loss of their children. I cannot imagine the amount of pain. I cannot put myself in your shoes. I don't know why God allows such things. But I can say a prayer for you from the bottom of my heart.
Dear Lord, God Almighty and All-Knowing. I humbly come into your presence and ask for your special grace and comfort to these mothers who have grieved or are grieving. I cannot imagine their pain, but You know their pain and are the only one who can give them true comfort. I pray that you wrap them in Your arms and let them know that even in the darkest of times, YOU ARE! You are there with them, and You are watching over them, and their blessed angels who are now with you in heaven. Give them love, give them peace, and turn their tears into dancing. I pray that you put a smile on their faces and give them cause to give you glory. May they be that woman in Psalm 113:9 - Happy Mother of Children. This is my prayer, and I ask for all of this in Jesus' name. Amen.
Happy Mothers Day to You.
You are so lovely. That's a wonderful prayer. Mother's Day is a very hard day for some women and it's good for us sisters to talk openly about our hurts and help lift each other up!
ReplyDeleteI'll be heading to ATL again soon. We should meet up!
It really is tough for a lot of women. I'm sure there are communities online for women who have gone through this loss. But I agree that us women need to support and uplift one another.
DeleteGod richly bless you for this Berry. This sincerely compassionate post broke me out of 'stealth reader mode' to comment. Keep up the great work!
