Prayer for Single Mothers

A mother helps her child tie a shoe in an apartment entryway beside their bags.
Daily care calls for courage, patience, and a heart sustained by prayer.

Eternal Father, Bless and Protect all over the world the countless Single Mothers.
Fill their hearts with Peace, Wisdom, Strength, Courage and Faith.
Instill in them the Fruits of the Holy Spirit and may they always bear in mind
to remember that YOU are always with them and are never far from reach.
