Love of Family: A Prayer for the True Spirit of Motherhood
Friday, July 3, 2009 at 8:16 
I just wanted to give a shout out to the wonderful family that we are blessed to have!! Featured above are Xavier's sisters and cousins: From Left: Ryan Kaye (7y/o), Conner Kaye (12y/o), Grandmom Micki, Xavier Snipes (7y/o) on his Birthday! Mommy holding baby sister Lucy Snipes (7mo) Brookie Kaye (5y/o). Front Row: MaryElizabeth Snipes (2y/o) and Harrison Kaye (5y/o). We are all so blessed to have these beautiful children in our lives. Motherhood can be exhausting, difficult and rewarding at the same time. Here is a beautiful prayer that I say when times are tough and times are good to help me persevere in my career as mother!
Dear Mary my Mother, I rejoice in the gifts of these beautiful children God has given to my husband and me. Grant that my little children may teach me of the ways of God. When I see their eyes, I am reminded of the innocence of Jesus. May my children's ready smile remind me of God's great and unconditional love that is always there for me. may the helplessness and vulnerability of my children remind me that I too am a little child in the eyes of my heavenly Father.
Dear Mother, may my children's first attempts to speak help me remember the Wisdom of God which spoke the universe into being. May my child's complete trust in me lead me to put my total trust in God.
O Mary, my children and I already share a deep affection and bonding. Help me to deepen my own love for my Heavenly Father, a Father Who cares for me, Who provides for me, Who protects me and Who is leading me to eternal life with Him. O my God, I believe in You, I hope in You, I adore You, and I trust You. Have mercy on all the mothers of this world and grant them also a true spirit of motherhood that they will love and cherish the children You have generously given them.
Dear God, You have given so much to me. I ask Your power and anointing to be the best mother I can be for my children, and all this I ask through the intercession of Mary, My Queen and my Mother! Amen

What a beautiful mother's prayer. Thank you, Amber for sharing. As always, Love, Mom
You have amazing faith and insight....I love reading your posts.
Thank you so much for this touching prayer. I too have a special child and this prayer touched my heart. My child is dealing wih epilepsy and we are now looking into surgery, going up to Pittsburgh Oct 29 for MEG, MRI, and EEG to see if he is a candidate for surgery. I hope this will give him a better quality of life but if not it is just god's will and I will be there for him every step of the way.
