Dear Lord Jesus,
I lift up all mothers to You—those whose needs and desires run deeper than words can express. Their hearts are filled with longings and burdens that only You fully understand. I ask that You care for them in the specific challenges they face and, more importantly, that You draw them ever closer to You. Lord, You are the true source of peace and fulfillment.

Thank You for everything, Lord Jesus!
Amen.
