Sunday, May 10, 2026 (Mothers’ Day)
Beulah UMC & Oak Grove UMC
Thank you, O God for that beautiful solo. We’re not sure if this is our prayer to you for there to be more love in the world, or if this is your challenge to us this morning. Probably a little of both.
But what is certain is that what the world needs now is love, sweet love. Thank you for Jesus’ words to us today reminding us that love is the most important part in what it means to be your disciples.
Love is what builds bridges and leads to caring relationships. Love is what binds us together.
On this Mothers’ Day, we lift up to you our mothers who have given us life and love. We pray for mothers who have lost a child through death, that their faith may give them hope.
We pray for women, though without children of their own, who like mothers have nurtured and cared for us. We pray for mothers, who have been unable to be a source of strength, who have not responded to their children and have not sustained their families.
Loving God, as a mother gives life and nourishment to her children, so you watch over each and every one of us.
And we pray that you would watch over those who are in particular need of you this day, those facing medical challenges, those who are grieving and in need of comfort, those who are in need of guidance and direction, and those who are feeling alone and anxious. May your love surround each of these persons with the assurance that nothing can separate them from your great love in Christ Jesus our Lord.
We pray this in the name of Jesus who taught us to say together…
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
