Father, I lift up all the mothers involved with Marriage Builders to you today. Whether they are at home with their husband, standing for their husband to come home to the family, or even the prodigals that left the family behind makes little difference, Father. They are all hurting and crying out for Your grace and mercy in their situation.<P>Father, this is a day that we have set aside to celebrate the special qualities of motherhood. I ask that on this day You pour out Your grace and mercy on these mothers in their time of need.<P>Father, I ask that You make this a day filled with Your presence for them. Let them feel You constantly by their side, Father, holding, encouraging and comforting them.<P>Father, I ask that You heal the hurting and suffering in their hearts. I ask that You fill their hearts instead with Your peace, joy, love and hope.<P>Father, I ask that You fill them with the knowledge that You have given them the courage, strength, faith and hope needed to rise above the present trials they face in their lives and that the enemy has no power or claim over them, for they are Your children.<P>Father, I ask that You touch our hearts as husbands and fathers involved. Soften them towards the mothers of our children, Father. Remind us, Lord, that these women gave us the gift of children and families, and should always be treated with gentleness, respect, consideration, kindness and love.<P>Father, I ask that You give these mothers a special blessing today. Touch them in a special way, Father, each according to her needs.<P>I ask these of You in the name of Jesus. Amen.
