We Thank You, God, For Mothers

We thank You, God, for mothers who love You as they love their families truly ...With all their souls redeemed by Your precious blood wondrously ...With all their hearts imparted by Your divine nature completely ...With all their minds renewed by Your transformation powerfully ...And with all their strength empowered by Your might steadily. We thank You, God, for mothers who are prioritizing Your will’s fullness ...As they seek first Your kingdom and Your righteousness ...As they submit to Your leading through Your wise graciousness ...As they sacrifice for Your work along Your divine business ...And as they stay in Your presence, delighting in Your loving kindness. We thank You, God, for mothers who are esteeming You with earnest devotion ...In communing with You for Your approval in their decision ...In fellowshiping with You when they have their Bible-meditation ...In walking with You every time for their holy vocation ...And in cleaving to You, whatever is their condition. We thank You, God, for mothers who are following Your leadership ...Thru Your delegated authorities along righteous partnership ...Thru Your direct instructions for biblical discipleship ...Thru Your constant communication toward good relationship ...And thru Your life-building compassion midst faithful stewardship. We thank You, God, for mothers who are yielding to You whatever the cost ...Since You prod them to be obedient by Your Holy Ghost ...Since You teach them to trust You to the utmost ...Since You remind them to dwell inside Your sovereign post ...And since You direct them from being wayward to seek the lost. We thank You, God, for mothers who are living for You and for Your holy name ...While they watch for Your coming in Your glorious flame ...While they run for the prize as Your athlete in a divine game ...While they serve You according to Your standards’ fame ...And while they pursue Your set course for them, finishing it without blame. We thank You, God, for mothers who are devoted to You throughout eternity ...For You love them as they are, sustaining them in Your mercy’s certainty ...For You cleanse them, purifying them from the filth of iniquity. ...For You provide for them, supplying them with Your bounty ...And for You enable them so they can mold their children thru Your capacity.
