A Prayer For Our Children

Take a moment and recite this prayer for your children. Praying for them to have a blessed day, be covered by the Father, and that you will have patience as you nurture them. May God protect them, guide them, and comfort them.

Transcript

Before the day starts and the kids take over,

Before the never-ending questions begin and your patience wears thin,

Take a deep breath in.

As you exhale,

Settle in your seat for a moment.

Listen and recite this prayer along with me.

Dear God,

Thank you for my child.

Thank you for their unique curiosity and steadfast eagerness to explore the world.

Thank you for my patience to manage every stray question.

As they start their day,

Allow them to be kind,

Caring,

And considerate.

Allow them to be a good friend and have good friends surround them.

Allow them to speak wisely and allow their voice to make a difference,

Even in the smallest of ways.

Protect them,

Guide them,

Comfort them.

Allow them to seek you in all situations and show yourself to them when they need you and especially when they think they don't.

In Jesus' name we pray,

Amen.

Before you rise from this meditation,

Take a moment to express gratitude for all the joy your child brings.

As you leave this meditation,

Take a breath and as you exhale,

Remind yourself that God gave you an amazing assignment and you have everything you need to do well.

That was amazing! My kids are a bit older, 15, 20, 21 and all facing or embarking on things so this was so perfect for my heart and soul! Thank you so much!
