- Thank you, Lord, for my mother. She is truly a gem of immeasurable worth. As she prayed for me numerous times, Lord, I pray that You will watch over her and care for her needs. And keep me Dear Lord, firm on the path she set for me so that no matter how far I roam in life, I'll always come back to the foundations she has laid. Amen
