Prayer for the Loss of a Mother

For sons and daughters who have lost their mom.

“As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem.”

Isaiah 66:13 (KJV)

Lord, my mother is gone. The person who loved me first is no longer here, and the world feels different.

Thank You for her life, her care, her lessons and her love. Help me hold on to good memories.

Comfort me in the moments I want to call her and cannot. Heal any regrets or unfinished words.

As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you. Comfort me now, Lord, the way a mother comforts.

Help me carry her love forward. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Short prayer to remember

Comfort me like a mother, Lord. Thank You for her life. Amen.
