FATIGUE TO FLOURISHING
Happy Mother’s Day!!!
I got up this morning thinking about what Mother’s Day message I needed to share. The word fatigue kept coming back to me. I am the mother of two sons that I love dearly. Mothering is more than a job or responsibility, mothering is a ministry. It takes a lot of hard work!!!! There are many sacrifices you have to make in being a mother. Our children are to be loved and nurtured. Along with caring for our children we also have to care for our homes, work and take care of other responsibilities.
When God wanted to illustrate His love for His people He used the illustration of a mother. A mother lets go of her own life for the sake of her child, and how she covers her children.The truth of how much God loves us can transform our thoughts about any sacrifice we would ever make.This helps us see the rewards and joy of mothering. Being a mother is a very high calling and an all consuming task that God has entrusted us with. A godly mother is a nation's greatest treasure, and the Lord’s best helpers.
Sometimes in carrying it all, we get very tired and weary. This is when we need to steal away to get refreshed, renewed and invigorated. Mother’s we need an uninterrupted time of prayer, time of mediation, reflection, relaxation, and to be in our heavenly father’s presence. We need to be able to walk away from all of those responsibilities just for a little while. We will feel better and stronger!!! We would also have a new sense of vitality and energy!! This is how we are able to go from Fatigue to Flourishing !!!!! I would like to say a prayer asking God to strengthen and renew all of the mother’s on today!!
A PRAYER FOR MOTHER’S
Father God in the Name of Jesus
I thank you and praise you for blessing us all to see and celebrate another Mother’s Day
We thank you for your grace, your mercies, your compassion, and goodness upon us
We thank you for our seeds, our rewards you have blessed us with
Children are a heritage from You Lord
We know You love them more than we ever could
God you know the plans that you have for each of our children, to prosper them, plans for their future
Helps us O God to give them wholly back to you like Hannah
As mothers I ask O God that you strengthen and equip us daily
Helps us to nurture and parent through your love, wisdom, and knowledge
Help us to lead them in the way that they should go accordingly to your will for their life
You have given us a big task and we are so thankful and blessed, but we need You in all aspects and seasons of our parenting
I ask You right now, to touch every mother that reads this blog.
Strengthen, empower, renew, refresh, and refuel us
Supply every need that we may have in being a woman, wife and mother
Mentally, emotionally, and physically
Let your purpose and plan prevail for us, that our lives will bring you glory
Let your face shine upon us, and let your favor surround us
Continue to uplift and keep us
In Jesus Name I pray, Amen
Have a blessed Mother’s Day
