Mom in the Middle - A Mom's New Year's Prayer

Christmas has past

The New Year has begun

My child is back in school

Now its time for mom to have some fun

But today I’ll take it slow…

Drink my coffee

Read God's Word

Breath in my Father’s love

And let His Peace feed my soul

Because as mom, my place is not at the head

That place is reserved for Dads instead

Nor placed down below

A place for child’s play and time to grow

But in the middle is my place

My mission to fill my heart with God’s amazing Grace

So I can lift the head when he grows weary

Provide him love, support, and a home that is cheery

God has placed me perfectly in the middle

To reach down and nurture those who are little

To kiss and give them a mother’s hug

And most of all to show them The Father's Love

So Lord, meet me here in the middle

Fill me with Your Holy Spirit, 

To overflowing

And not just a little

Being mom in the middle

Can be overwhelming

But nothing’s impossible, Lord,

With Your Spirit helping

So help me, Father

To feel Your love

To hear Your voice

To the very depth of my soul

With every beat of my heart

For only with the Fruits of Your Spirit,

Lord, do I want this New Year to start...

Amen,

Yolanda

Galations 5:22-23

But the Spirit produces love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, humility, and self-control.
