A Prayer for a Godly Mother

Heavenly Father,

We thank You for the life of our beloved mother, Darlene Kay Waggoner.
You blessed us with her love, her strength, and her faith.
She taught us to walk in Your light, to pray in all things,
and to never doubt the power of Your grace.

Her hands were gentle but strong,
Her words were wise and kind,
Her heart was full of faith,
And her spirit reflected Your love.

Now, Lord, we release her into Your arms.
We find peace knowing she rests with You, free of pain,
surrounded by the everlasting joy of Your Kingdom.

Help us to carry her lessons forward—
To love like she did, to give like she gave,
And to trust in You as she always did.

Until we meet again, we thank You for the gift she was in our lives.

In Jesus’ name we pray,
Amen.
