Liturgies for Motherhood (100 Prayers and Blessings for the Early Years of Raising Children)

Anchor the ordinary moments of motherhood with meaningful Christian prayers and blessings.

Liturgies for Motherhood offers 100 simple, meaningful prayers for busy moms that help you reconnect with God, feel seen in your work, and discover the sacred in everyday motherhood.

This book is for the days when dishes are endless and emotions feel louder than your thoughts. For the long nights with a newborn, the body you don’t recognize anymore, and the invisible mental load you carry. While the pace of raising young children leaves little time for prayer, many moms long to pause and remember what God says is true in these moments.

Designed for ordinary mothers like you navigating the first decade of raising children, these prayers provide words when your own feel tangled. Author Brooke Mousetis knows these moments well. With four kids of her own, she often found herself too tired to form a coherent prayer—so she began writing liturgies instead. Her poetic, lived-in style is grounded in the truth that Jesus is present, even here.

From pregnancy to toddlers to school-age routines, this collection offers the following:

• Accessible prayers that fit naturally into everyday life
• Language to recognize ordinary family moments and special occasions
• Spiritual refreshment in small pauses throughout the day, from changing diapers to loading the minivan to folding laundry—and many more
• A reminder that the small moments and repetitive work of motherhood really matter

This beautiful book is the perfect baby shower gift for expectant and new moms and a wonderful present for any mother in need of Christian encouragement.

Liturgies for Motherhood will strengthen and encourage you for the journey ahead as it helps you see that faithfulness in the mundane is holy work—and that even in the middle of it all, God is near.
