Prayer for Week 20 (Beginning 5.12.08)

Mother's Day....a great reminder of the immense influence that mothers have on the lives of their children and of our privilege to lift them in prayer.

INTERCESSIONS
Christian mothers
- that their love of God will direct their parenting (one generation shall praise Your works to another and shall declare Your mighty acts. Psalm 145:4) and (Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it. Prov 22:6)

Mothers who are not YET saved
- that God will give them understanding of their worth in His eyes and His purpose for their lives (For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. Eph 2:10) and (Your hands have made me and fashioned me; give me understanding that I may learn Your commandments. Psalm 119:73)

- that they will come to know Christ as their Savior and turn from sin (She said, "No one, Lord." And Jesus said to her, "Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more. John 8:11)"

All Mothers (as this can be an issue in the church as well as the world)
- that they will embrace and model modesty for their children (in like manner also, that the women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with propriety and moderation... 1 Tim 2:9)
