Prayers for the Headlines, Friday, May 6, 2011

Good Morning God,
Lost in the headlines of the week (but not in the advertisements) is that this is Mothers' Day weekend.  Sunday is the day we pause from all else to give you thanks for the woman who bore us, the women who nurture us and those who have encouraged us.

Lord, thank you for creating women, for making "Eves", with the physical bodies for conceiving, growing and birthing children.  Thank you for creating men also, making "Adams", to live in partnership with Eves, to play their part in the creation of offspring.

Lord, we want to pray for all women today.  We ask that you bless them with their heart's desire.  We ask for joy in their bearing of children and comfort when they cannot.  We ask for your protection of their hearts and the full acceptance of what their minds can dream.

Let each woman alive hear you and us say "Well done, well done", whatever the path they chose to take in life.
In Jesus name, Amen
