Mom, I want to start by thanking you for all you have done for me.

You do so much to hold our family together. You go through the day doing behind the scenes stuff, and I’ll never understand why you do what you do until I become a mom. I know that you have constantly prayed for us kids, but here is my prayer for you.

1. I pray that you would find joy. We will fail you over and over again, but God will not. He chose you to be my mom. He chose you to advocate for our family. He chose you for a reason. I pray that you would know that you inspire me. You are so incredibly strong. You struggle through different things, yet you still have a brave face in your darkness.
2. I pray that you would find a group of people that will encourage you in your walk with Christ. I pray that you would find encouragement from everyone around you, even at home. I pray that you would be encouraged to go out to new places and see new things and meet new people. I pray that you would be motivated to go out and speak about what God has done in your life. I know it doesn’t all make sense. I know it hurts, but He will remain beside you. I pray you would be encouraged by us at home and that we would be able to see you blossom and prosper. You have been there for each of us while we have hurt and gone through pain. You have supported us in everything we do. I pray that we can share that same support with you when you hurt and go through pain.
3. Lastly, I pray you would find peace. It gets stressful and hard, but when it gets to be that way, cling to the One who sustains us all. I pray that you would find comfort in the words of those who encourage you. I pray you would find peace in knowing that His love will never fail. I pray that you would find patience in the times where you have that “I need it now” mindset. I pray you would find patience in waiting for God to use you more. He created you with a purpose. He loves you. And I do too.

Thank you for all you do. It is an honor to be your daughter.
