Prayer for a Single Mom Who Feels Alone

For mothers raising children on their own and carrying it all.

“He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.”

Isaiah 40:29 (KJV)

Lord, I am raising my children on my own, and some days the weight feels crushing. I handle the bills, the school runs, the sick days and the bedtime tears, and there is no one to hand off to.

Give me strength. You give power to the faint, and to them that have no might You increase strength. I am faint, Lord. Increase my strength.

Provide what we need, food, rent, childcare and good help. Send people who will stand with us.

Help me love my children well even when I am tired. Protect them and fill the gaps I cannot fill.

When I feel alone at night, remind me that You are here. Thank You for my children and for every small victory. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Short prayer to remember

You give power to the faint, Lord. Increase my strength today. Amen.
