Top 10 Bible Verses for Mothers and Mother's Day

Job 1:21 - "Naked I came from my mother's womb, and naked I will depart. The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; may the name of the Lord be praised."

Being a mother is overwhelming. Like Job, mothers do not have to hide their grief, frustrations, disappointment, or other feelings. Even when mothers are tired or feel like they're at their wits' end, it is important not to lose faith in God. Even SuperMoms are admittedly human and need to depend on the Lord and praise him always.

1 Peter 3:15 - "But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and grace."

Mom has a way with words. It's important for her to be grace under pressure and give advice and answers with loving words and gentle kindness. This verse reminds us why those qualities are so extremely important.

Isaiah 66:13 - "As a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you; and you will be comforted over Jerusalem."

Moms are great at meeting the needs of children. Kissing boo-boos, drying tears, and chasing away fears. However, Moms need comfort too. There is no boo-boo too big for God to heal if you let him.

Psalm 113:9 - "He settles the barren woman in her home as a happy mother of children. Praise the Lord."

All women are valuable in the eyes of the Lord. Whether you are a mother, expecting, trying to conceive, unable to conceive, or suffering from a miscarriage, the Lord loves you and has a perfect plan just for you. In His own time, He will show that to you.

Luke 11:27-28 - "As Jesus was saying these things, a woman in the crowd called out, 'Blessed is the mother who gave you birth and nursed you.' He replied, 'Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it."

Being a mother is an awesome responsibility and an incredible privilege. The joys of motherhood are exponentially greater when we mother in an obedient and honorable fashion.

Luke 11:33 - "No one lights a lamp and puts it in a place where it will be hidden, or under a bowl. Instead, he puts it on its stand, so that those who come in may see the light."
