Single Mom Prayer

My God, I have such a wonderful child, a most precious gift I do not deserve. My heart melts into joy each time he looks at me, each time he calls me “Mommy“. He would embrace me and kiss me and all my troubles will disappear in a moment. Nothing else matters except his laughter and the brightness of his eyes. You know I would give him everything. I would give him the world if I can only do it. Gladly would I sacrifice everything for him, even my own life if need be so.

He brought me hope, he gave my life direction and a meaning I’ve never known before. Surely Lord, you have saved me through this child. Through him you have made known to me how much you love me.

But I am not worthy O God. I feel so incapable of taking care of your most beautiful gift to me. For what can I possibly give this child? My failures? My brokenness? My shameful past? What can I teach this child? How can I mould him into the person he was meant to be?  What shall a single mom like me pray?

Yet you gave him to me, you’ve brought him unto my cold and shaking hands. Surely you must know my weaknesses, yet you must have also known I would call upon you to help me and to provide for the things I cannot do.

Help me O God. Heal me of my wounds so I may not pass on to him my bitterness. Heal me of my insecurities that I may teach him how to have confidence on himself. Blot out my sins that he may not be cursed for mistakes he wasn’t even aware of, and so that he can have a wonderful future ahead of him. Fill my heart with love even if I’m all alone. For how can I possibly give away that which I do not have? It is not easy indeed to be a single mom. Grant me wisdom. Grant me strength to face a harsh world so I can provide for him and give him everything he needs. Say unto me Lord that I am not alone for you will be my Husband, and you yourself will be his Father. This child is blessed, this I know, and I thank you for all that you have ever done and all that you have in store for us from your boundless mercy and unceasing love.

To all the single moms out there, I salute you. I hope that this prayer of a single mom somehow resonates the true prayers of your heart and inspires you in believing that the answer is sure to come, and is certainly on the way!

This beautiful prayer is so powerful.It sure did bring a smile on my face and in my heart. Am a proud single mother to my 2 year old son. He means the world to me.

I am a single 25yr old mom of 2 beautiful little boys. I’ve made alot of mistakes & bad choices in the past but I’m trying to overcome and deal with these things day by day. . .Some days are easy & somedays are Just overbearing like today. . . but reading your poem helped me to remember that what I am doing is ok & I’m giving it my 100% to raise my boys and as hard as it gets I know that somehow were gonna be ok!! Thanks soo much. . (:

I’m glad I came across your beautiful prayer. It is uplifting and motivational. Lately, it has been a difficult week and I needed some positive energy to lift my spirit. I’m a mom to a wonderful 3mos old baby boy. He’s my world and I love him to pieces. It is very reassuring that raising a child on your own can be done with God’s help. Thank you again for sharing, you made my day/night better 🙂

@GabeMom – Thank you for dropping by! I’m confident that God will indeed be the One to help you raise up your child in Grace and in every possible blessing God could send way. Be blessed! 😉

I’m in a stage of deeply missing and longing for the hugs and kisses of my baby girl. To the point I thought that maybe I should give up with this course of life I’m heading to. But after reading this prayer of yours, I came into a realization that these will be for her own welfare. That maybe I’m away for now, but someday God will allow us to be near with each other. I’m not giving up and i will always keep the faith..thank you so much for inspiring so many lives, especially us. God bless..

That prayer really hit home for me especially right now when everything seems to be going wrong in my life. I never looked to God for anything and now it seems I am looking to him for everyday.So Thank you for that prayer.

I am newly a single mom and to come across this prayer is a blessing. At what seems to be the hardest time in my life i now know that i will not only survive but be able to give my children the life they deserve. I thank you for this wonderful prayer.

I just want to thank you for this prayer. When you said “for what can I possibly give this child? My failures? My brokenness? My shameful past? What can I teach this child? How can I mould him into the person he was meant to be? What shall a single mom like me pray?”
By saying that, for the first time in my life I knew I wasn’t the only one. Your prayer inspired me to not doubt myself anymore and to prove to myself that I CAN be a good mother at age 18.
Reading your prayer was a sign and helped me gain faith, and i strongly believe God chose you to help so many single mothers out there JUST by reading this..
Thank you so much for posting this up because it helped me to be stronger than i was before.

thank u so much for sharing this prayer. Indeed, it is a great source of inspiration for me as a single mum. It is a wonderful blessing to come across your prayer cause it really captures what is in the heart, mind and soul of a single mother, our pains, our hopes, our dreams. I know i am not alone in this battle. I have God and my fellow single mums and i will keep on fighting for my son. Coz with God we will survive. Again, thank u! Ü

Wow my heart is uplifted, I am a single mom of a 6 year old, I have recently had every cent in my bank acct stolen by her father who she hasn’t seen in 4 years and was ready to give up, after this I am ready to let go of the anger. Thank you!

Thank you so much for this prayer! You took the thoughts in my heart and put them into words on a page. I was moved to tears and it’s so encouraging to know there are other single mothers out there who feel like I do. It is so hard sometimes to realize that even thru my weaknesses and failures that God did give my children to me and they are a great gift. Thank you SO much for the inspiration!

I hope u dont mind but I printed out ur prayer, I am going to frame it, and place it in my bedroom so I can read it every morning. I am a mother of 2 teens and a pre-teen; ur prayer inspires me. Thank you!!

What a prayer, my baby father recently left me for another woman n my bby is only 2months old. I use to cry until now when I am so strong. But its sad coz I’m still in varsity n can’t provide for the bby

That is a truly great prayer. Apart from praying to God, people should get up & hustle out there to make their lives better. Yes there is help available out there for single moms who have families & are barely making ends meet. There are college grants, housing aid & even food stamps for really need

single moms. For more information, check out http://www.financialhelpsinglemother.com/ this resource as well. Good luck with your search.

WOW.. I BEEN A SINGLE MOM FOR THE PAST 6 YEARS.. BEEN A SINGLE PARENT IS NOT EAZY BUT US AS WOMEN WE CAN DO IT.. BEEN A MOM IS THE BEST THING ON THIS WORLD.. THIS PRAYER IS THE BEST..

In all sincerity, its word for word, EXACTLY what I struggle with, and what my life is as a single mother to an amazing son! Thank you so much for sharing this.

I’m a single mom of a 2yr old. Have been alone since the day she was born. This prayer touched my heart and brought tears to my eyes. As a single mom I have to be strong every single day. I can’t take breaks when I’m tired or down, like women with partners can. Lately I have felt the burden on my shoulders even heavier. This prayer reminded me that God gave me this child and he doesn’t make mistakes. If I was not worthy because I am not married or incapable of carring for her he wouldn’t have given her to me. I’m glad to know that others out there have the same fears I do. I can see once again that God is there watching over us and guiding me as I raise my child. I know that with Gods help I will not pass on to her any bitternes due to my failures. She is beautiful and perfect. With Gods help my child will have a beautiful life full of love and not miss not having a father. Thanks once again for reminding me that God is there.

I was inspired by your prayer,thanks…hope you dont mind if il post it in FB.I’ve been a single mom for almost 6years and life is never easy but i need to be strong for my son.

I’m not a Mother yet but will be in a few weeks with my first baby, a girl. her father only recently declared that he does not want us in his life. despite him having a very good job that pays very well he sees no need to help out. i’m unemployed and very broke. almost at The point of despair i found this prayer and The words have given me some kind of hope that we will be alright and once my baby is here things will get better. thank you.

i was so touched with the prayer.. i moved to tears.. it spoke of what my heart wanted to say.. i’m going to make it as one of my guides to become a stronger person, woman and mom for my little angel

@Jeslyns Mommy – Thank you for writing back and visiting this blog. 😉 I’m Joyce, and I’m happy to hear how God continues to bless you and work in your life, together with your baby. With God’s Grace, I pray for more blessings for your daughter and for yourself. It will not be an easy journey, but it doesn’t mean it could never be beautiful! I am not a single mom as you are, and how I wish I had a priceless treasure as your child, but with God’s power and wisdom, He enabled me to write this prayer and to share in the sorrow and joys of His beloved children. God bless you, indeed!

One thing I want to touch upon is that fat reduction plan fast is possible by the right diet and exercise. Someone’s size not merely affects appearance, but also the entire quality of life. Self-esteem, despression symptoms, health risks, as well as physical ability are impacted in fat gain. It is possible to make everything right and at the same time having a gain. In such a circumstance, a condition may be the root cause. While a lot of food instead of enough physical exercise are usually responsible, common medical ailments and popular prescriptions could greatly help to increase size. Thanks alot : ) for your post in this article gywl512.

I am very inspired by this. I had hopes of giving my child the same family that I had growing up with my mother and my father around. I thank God for being the father to my son that he needs, and I thank Him for being my husband and my love that I longed for. Because of this prayer, my faith has grown stronger in Him, and I thank God for this and for you.

@GCherise – God is truly the Father of your children, and your Husband as well who will always support you and uphold you. Nobody else has ever done so much good to me as God has done.

I am a homeless single mother of 4. I was so angry when I sat down here tonight. This gave me hope thank you.

i am very blessed to have my little angel summer, mommy is so in-loved with you my dear:) god bless us both:)

This is the exact thing that I needed to read today. I am search of a new job. Right now I am working 2 jobs just to make ends meet. It is taking time away from one on one time with my son. I am feeling a great deal of guilt. I pray that God will send me the job that blesses us with the financial needs and that allows me to a mother and not just the provider. Life goes by to fast to just work it away missing all of the good things in our lives. God bless you.

Thanks for the prayer, it was much needed.

Amanda

@Amanda – I pray that God would indeed provide you with a means to support your family, and to bless you with all the good things in life. God is the one who causes the sun to shine and the seeds to grow. By a word, He can cause the heavens and the stars to appear and there is nothing impossible for Him if we allow His power and generosity to work through our lives. God bless you, Amanda!

Having my 7 months old twin baby boys had brought a lot of changes in my life. Despite everything that I’ve been through, I never stopped believing and never lose my faith in Him. I know God is always with us.

I am single mother of 2 kids right now i feel so much guilt because I am not always there for my kids with me having to work to jobs just to pay the bills. I pray to god to help me finacially and physically.

@Abigayle – I pray that God may indeed provide you with everything you need for your family. He is our Provider, Defender and Friend who would never let us down. Help will be provided just in time, so let us carry on in faith! Be blessed.

To all Single Moms Like Me,
May we always be comforted with the truth that we are luck because GOD is our strong Partner, Provider, and Father to our children.
If we were disappointed by the men who were supposed to stand as our partner, and father to our kids, GOD is letting us know right now at this very moment that He is not going to leave us in the dark. He is with us, strengthening us, providing for us, if we just ask Him, trust Him, and surrender all our worries to Him. Amen.

THIS PRAYER IS SO BEAUTIFUL IT MADE ME CRY WHEN I READ IT…I JUST HAPPEN TO TYPE IN POEMS FOR SINGLE MOMS AND IT TOOK ME HERE…I AM A 25 YEAR OLD SINGLE MOM WITH 1 SON I HAVE BEEN RAISING MY SON ALONE SINCE I WAS 18 YEARS OLD IT GETS SO HARD BUT READING SOMTHING LIKE THIS REALLY GIVES ME HOPE 🙂 THANKYOU

Joyce
I’m a single young mother of a beautiful two year old.
I am 20 years old, born again Christian, my baby girls dad is always in and out of Jail he wasn’t there when she was born, her first birthday or second birthday due to being in jail or treatment. I quit high school when I was pregnant and just recently went back to graduate to make a brighter future for my baby. I tried to make it work with her dad for her sake so she can have a dad, but w/ him in and out of jail its hard to make ends meet and I just get hit in the face, now were split and he lives far away she always ask me where her dad is and it kills me. I ask him for help but he would rather spend his money on partying and alcohol. I have my own apartment, car, job, with a high school diploma and trying to get into college. I need prayer because recently it feels like I’m losing control, and get into my old bad habits before I had my baby.

Dear Sunshine,

I pray for you now! I admire you for all the things that you’re doing for your child. 😉 Rest assured that God knows your situation and is watching over the safety and welfare of your family.

If your child’s dad could not fill up the role of a father, be not dismayed, for God is the real Father of your child. With God as Father, He will Provide you with all your needs and will help bring up your child into the kind of person she was meant to be!

Blessings and peace be with you, and may you count on God above all else to be your Defender and your Strength!

Yours In Prayer,
JOYCE

I’m d single mom of a 7 yo boy and I’m currently expecting my 2nd baby anyday now. Their father left me for someone else. It has been hard but since finding this prayer, I’ve been feeling a little better

This prayer gave me hope and faith and motivation. Being a single mom is hard, especially when you have set expectations of what you and your childs life would be like and it turns up totally opposite. God finds a way to show up in your life when you most need it whether it be during prayer, through a complete stranger or by his word. And I thank you for showing up when I needed it most. God bless all the single mothers trying to make it day by day…

I have a 9 year old son that has been miss behaving an i was looking for a single mother pray to get me thou today and come across this one. As i read it has me crying. God help me with this boy that i love so much. I hope and pray that he follows the right path.

Dear God,
Please help me I am a single mom now for quite a while. I need strength, patience, energy, hope, courage, persistent, etc. to follow on with my life. My two boys are my whole I do a lot for them. I want great boys in school, I want them to get married and have a great career. Do not let them follow bad habits with family, friends or strangers. Help me in my job with my collegaes and bosses. Help me in my house. AMEN

I’d like to thank you for the efforts you’ve put in penning
this site. I am hoping to see the same high-grade content from you
later on as well. In fact, your creative writing abilities has motivated me to
get my very own site now 😉

Also visit my web page – myla sinanaj

Whats up this is kind of of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.
I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding expertise so I wanted
to get advice from someone with experience. Any help would be enormously appreciated!

Here is my web blog: lady gaga yoga video

I usually do not comment, however after looking at through a ton of responses on this page Single Mom Prayer | Best Life Quotes, Poems, Prayers, Words of Wisdom, Healing, Spirituality.
I do have a couple of questions for you if you
don’t mind. Could it be only me or does it give the impression like a few
of the remarks come across as if they are coming from brain
dead people? 😛 And, if you are writing on additional
social sites, I’d like to keep up with you. Would you list of
the complete urls of your shared sites like your linkedin
profile, Facebook page or twitter feed? https://vimeo.com/86905407

Hey superb website! Does running a blog similar to this take a lot of work?

I have no knowledge of computer programming but I had been hoping to
start my own blog soon. Anyhow, should you have
any recommendations or techniques for new blog owners please share.
I understand this is off subject however I simply needed to ask.
Many thanks!
