The Blessing of a Godly Mother
The collection of prayers and Bible verses below are dedicated to those precious, godly mothers who continue to pray for their adult children long after they have moved out of the home. Or perhaps you are a young mother looking for encouragement and strength.

1. A Prayer for Grace for Mothers...
Father in Heaven,
With everything in me, I want to be a good mom.
Lord Jesus, I come to you right now asking that You would allow the softness of your presence to produce a gentle spirit within me, helping me to watch what I say and how I behave to my children. They are my life, and mean the world to me. You have given me the gift of being their mother and I thank You.
Thank You for their little lives, and their innocent hearts. Help me to nurture Your love in them, and foster a reverence of Your ways in their hearts.
Pour out Your divine grace to enable me to be a good mamma today. Help me watch the words I speak, the way I act, and how I interact with them, let it all be done with the law of kindness.
In Your Precious Name, Amen.
2. A Prayer for Mothers to Have a Great Influence on Their Children...
Heavenly Father,
You have given mothers charge over little ones at home, and this is a great responsibility. Mother's have great influence on their children's life. May we reflect Your love and teaching everyday, influencing our children in uprightness.
A Christian mother's heart desires her children to know God in the fullest way possible, and for them to commit to His ways all their days.
Your word tells us that if we teach our children the way they should go, when they are older they will not depart from it. May we, as mothers, commit to do just that. Commit to teach our children the godly way they should go.
Father, as we come to You now, we ask You to fill us with grace and wisdom to be excellent godly mothers. One that instills in her children the upright way they should go, so when they are older, they will recall our teaching, and not loose sight of it.
May we take time to sit with them, read Your word to them, pray with them, and for them. Help us to understand Your ways more, so that we can relate to this generation.
Then, may our children follow You all the days of their lives. May they walk before You with a pure conscience, and upright behavior. May they seek to do Your will.
Father, we have seen the way of the ungodly, and we don't want this for our children. Preserve them, keep them, and put a contrite heart within them.
You are worthy of all praise, honor and glory, and we thank You for placing this burden within our hearts. We want the very best for our children. We know You are a faithful God that hears our prayers, and You answer us according to Your will.
Bless You Father.
Please help us be excellent mothers, bringing glory to You.
In Your Precious Name, Amen.
3. A Prayer for Moms to Train Children in God's Ways...
Father,
In a day when people disregard Your precious word, may You raise up a people who will be a light and testimony of Your ways. Give wisdom to young mom's who have little ones at home. May they seek You for wisdom and insight on training their children in Your ways.
You are a faithful God, and we know You are able to give discernment to young mothers who seek You for answers. Lead them according to Your ways, may they receive the fullest blessing of parenthood.
Cause them to desire Scriptural teaching on raising children, and follow examples of successful families. Bring them along under Your tender, watchful eye.
Impart heavenly wisdom unto young mothers who seek You. Then lead them onto life, peace and joy in raising their children.
May they regard You in all they do and may they be careful to set a good example of godly character before their eyes, for children watch their mommy's every move.
Help them make excellent choices throughout their day, and help them show love to the little ones in every way.
In Your Precious Name, Amen.
4. A Prayer for Moms to Watch What They Say and What They Do...
Lord,
Your ways are good and I want to abide by them all my days. Give me grace to be a good mom to my children and a good wife to my husband.
Help me to set a watch at my mouth to watch my words so I cause no harm or injury. I pray that You would give me wisdom with what I say. Help me to be more careful and to speak with wisdom and kindness. In this way, I can be an excellent example to my family and other mothers.
Help me here at home, to learn how to manage tasks more efficiently and make good use of my time. I pray that all of our home projects would be finished in Your perfect timing. Help us remember to be patient and learn contentment. You are definitely stretching us!
Help my husband spend his time wisely at home as well. Give him opportunities for self-growth. Help him gain his confidence once again and cause there to be a deep acceptance in his heart regarding the changes in his life. Pour out wisdom and understanding to my husband during this time.
Give us the grace and wisdom needed in order to pay the bills and cut down on our expenses. Enlarge our thinking and understanding in financial matters and give us the willpower to tackle money problems. Lead our family into being more frugal and mindful of what we spend our money on. Give both of us new ways to bring in income. Help us use our creativity and resources to bring about a change in our monthly income flow so I can continue to stay at home raising our children and taking care of the home.
My heart is in my home and I want to make it beautiful for my family. Thank you for allowing me this time with my children. They are the most precious years and I wouldn't trade this time for anything.
Continue to bless our family with Your spirit of love and mercy.
In Your Precious Name, Amen.

But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.
I wait for the Lord, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.
My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say more than they that watch for the morning.
Let Israel hope in the Lord: for with the Lord there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption. And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
Psalm 118:14-17
The Lord is my strength and so, and is become my salvation.
The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of the Lord doeth valiantly.
The right hand of the Lord is exalted: the right hand of the Lord doeth valiantly. I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord.
