God, give us Your grace to love our enemies;
The strength to rejoice in tribulation and trials;
The perspective to be grateful in everything and possess the hope of God that never disappoints;
The faith to move mountains;
The determination to overcome evil with good;
And the peace that surpasses understanding, which gives us the ability to sleep in the midst of the storm.
Work in us to both will and do Your good pleasure.
In Jesus’ Name,
Amen.
Prayer written by Shawn Douglas
"Oh that God would give every mother a vision of the glory and splendor of the work that is given to her when a babe is placed in her bosom to be nursed and trained! Could she have but one glimpse in to the future of that life as it reaches on into eternity; could she look into its soul to see its possibilities; could she be made to understand her own personal responsibility for the training of this child, for the development of its life, and for its destiny,--she would see that in all God's world there is no other work so noble and so worthy of her best powers, and she would commit to no other's hands the sacred and holy trust given to her." -JR Miller
