Happy Mother’s Day!!!!

We welcome you to gather and worship together with your Grace Bible Fellowship family.  Let’s unite together as we worship through music, prayer, scripture reading, listening, giving and teaching.

For a number of people Mother’s Day can be very challenging.  We want to respect that - please know that our hearts ache for you.  We want to encourage you by asking the Holy Spirit to comfort you with the truth of your identity as a daughter of the King.

Prayer Guide:  Reflection on Psalm 32

  1. Praise/Adoration.

As you read through Psalm 32 make a list of characteristics of God that you can praise Him for:

Example:  verse 1 - forgives

Then, take some time to praise God for His gift of mothers!

  1. Response

Psalm 32:5

I acknowledged my sin to you, 

And I did not cover my iniquity;

I said “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,”

And you forgave the iniquity of my sin

Take some time to reflect on the following:

  • Lord, I admit my battle with the sin of ___________________ that often leaves me weak and defeated.  Give me grace to confess my sin and experience the joy of Your forgiveness.

What other person is God asking you to share this with?

  1. Sharing/Asking.

Psalm 32:10

Many are the sorrows of the wicked, 

But steadfast love surrounds the one who trusts in the Lord

  • Lord, I trust you to instruct and teach me as a struggle with this problem/issue _____________________________.

  • Lord, I ask that you would surround this person __________________ as they trust in you about this situation ___________________________.

  1. Praise/Readiness.

Psalm 32:11

Be glad  in the Lord, and rejoice, O righteous, 

And shout for joy, all you upright in heart

Lord we will rejoice in you, for you are _________________________

Take 30 seconds (or more) to speak out loud to God what you find most comforting or encouraging about who He says He is.  

Take a moment to listen to what God might be saying to you.  Is there anything that He is asking of you?
