A Prayer for Mother's Day

by Greg Asimakoupoulos

Posted: May 10, 2025

Thoughts inspired by Greg;s late mom…



Greg and his late mother Star at the Owl Soda Fountain

Although Jesus called you Father,
You are like a mother, too.
You’ve been gentle, kind and merciful to me.
Like a mother hen You gather me
within Your outstretched wings.
Like a nursing mom You nourish tenderly.

Precious Lord, forgive my failings.
With compassion, hold me close.
Take my hand and calm me from the things I fear.
Whisper that You’ll never leave me,
that You’ll shelter me from harm.
Like a mother, please assure me You’ll be near.
