89.5 KVNE Mornings

I love that we have a day set aside to celebrate moms.

Growing up, we always made a big deal on Mother’s Day, making homemade cards and bringing her breakfast in bed. Of course there were usually handmade coupon books for free hugs and kisses too!

It was always a fun day, but I’m not sure I appreciated how hard my mom worked to take care of us until I became a mom myself.

She worked full time, took care of the household, chased around three kiddos and still managed to get us to church on Sundays.

My mom was a rock star. I’m sure she prayed for us, but I wonder if she ever took the time to pray for herself! Now that I’m a mom, with all the rewards and challenges, I need all the help I can get!

Here are ten prayers we can pray to ask God to help us be the best moms we can be!

2. SELF-CONTROL

• I pray, Lord, that you will help me control myself in all things so that I will be my best for my children.
• Like a city whose walls are broken through, is a person who lacks self-control. – Proverbs 25:28
