A reflective prayer for Mothering Sunday

As we join with others across the country in this prayer, we are asked to take a moment after every section to bring our own responses to God and to remember those we know for whom it is particularly relevant.

 

In every family there are seasons

Of joys and challenges;

Seasons of laughter

And seasons of sadness.

Times of unexpected joy

And times of unwanted trauma.

Circumstances to cherish

And circumstances to overcome.

Seasons of harmony

And seasons of discord.

Times of resilience

And times of weakness.

Moments to look forward with hope

And moments to look back with thanksgiving.

God in every circumstance and season

We bring you our worship and praise. AMEN
