On Our Hearts: Going Alone

Heavenly Father,

There are moms among us who are feeling so alone right now. Whether those feelings are physically or emotionally based, we know women are hurting. The daily challenges that we all face suddenly seem too much to handle when we feel that we have been abandoned. Chores take twice as long, the monthly budget is stretched tighter, and responsibilites multiply.

Lord, we lift up the moms who are widows, single, and those who are divorced or separated. We also pray for those moms whose husbands travel or work long hours to provide for their family. We ask that you make Your presence known to these women. That You let them know that You are always with them. Help them to rely on You, Lord. Give courage to those who are fearful, strength to those who feel weak, and love to those who feel unloved. You are our ultimate companion, Jesus, and You are nourishment for our soul. Thank you Lord, for walking with us along this earthly journey.

Amen

"So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." Isaiah 41:10
