For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.
Psalm 139:13-14
She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.
Proverbs 31:26
When people think of a mother, they often immediately picture a woman who gives birth to a child. While biology is part of the story, it is not the full picture. Being a mother is not just about bringing a child into the world — it’s about what you do after that moment. A true mother is defined by her actions, her love, and her heart.
If a woman abandons her newborn baby in a trash can, can she still rightfully be called a mother? No, she cannot. The title “mother” carries with it deep responsibilities, sacrifices, and a love that reflects the very heart of God. It is not a title given by mere biology; it is earned through devotion, nurturing, and unconditional love.
A mother carries within her a set of sacred traits. She protects her children from harm, comforts them in times of sorrow, and loves them when they feel unlovable. She teaches them the ways of God, instilling in them values that will shape their lives. She nurtures them into strong, wise, and responsible adults. A mother’s influence stretches far beyond the cradle — it lasts a lifetime.
A true mother does not abandon her child in their time of need. She does not love them only when they succeed or when they are easy to love. She stays. She teaches. She prays. She sacrifices. Even when the child fails, even when life becomes difficult, her love remains constant and unwavering.
When we consider all these traits, we cannot help but see the reflection of God Himself. God cares for us when we are wounded. He strengthens us when we are weak. He forgives us when we fall. His love for us is unconditional and eternal. In many ways, mothers are earthly representations of God’s own love for His children.
From the moment we are conceived until the day we breathe our last breath, God is with us — just as a loving mother remains with her child through every season of life. Mothers are one of God’s greatest gifts to humanity. They are daily reminders of His nurturing presence, His endless patience, and His fierce protection.
Thus, we must cherish our mothers. We must honour them, respect them, and love them for the role they play in our lives. A mother’s love is a treasure that cannot be measured or replaced.
The bond between a mother and her child is one of the purest forms of love found on earth. It is a love that willingly suffers for the sake of another. Mothers often endure sleepless nights, physical pain, emotional turmoil, and endless sacrifices to ensure their children thrive. They would give their lives for their children without a second thought.
And who does this remind us of? Of course — it reminds us of Christ. Christ, who suffered, who bled, and who died so that we might live. In the same way, mothers lay down their comforts, their desires, and sometimes their very lives to give their children a chance at a better future.
It is a noble and beautiful calling.
Each day, we should lift up our mothers in prayer. We should speak life, blessings, and gratitude over them. They are often the silent warriors in our lives, fighting unseen battles, making unseen sacrifices. Let us not take their love for granted.
Below are some heartfelt prayers you can say for your mother, covering her with the same love and protection she has so selflessly given you:

Mothers are God’s representatives on earth as we have already seen so we must respect and love them with all our hearts. We must make them proud to call us their children and we should take care of them when they can no longer care for themselves. God will bless us if we do this. They care for and nurture us till we grow so we must do the same for them till they die.
Proverbs 31:31 says Honor her for all that her hands have done, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate and Genesis 3:20: The man called his wife’s name Eve because she was the mother of all living. Your mother is your beginning. Be her reason for pride.
