For Mom

Dear God I come to you tonight
To bow and give you all my fright
Of things that are and things to be
With mom, my family, and me.

Oh Lord, more faith is what I need
I pray my words become your seed
That grace and kindness, mercy, too
Flow out of me because of You.

I pray that mom is one of yours
And that she knows your open doors
That Christ is on her mind today
And she prays to you without delay.

I pray, Oh God, her time's not up
That there's life yet within her cup
Oh Lord, you know our need of her
My family's lonely pacifer.

My Lord, my heart be humbled yet
My sins, Oh God, you would forget
So prayers can flow from me to you
Because of love, not what I do.

In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
