A Prayer for Our Children


Dear Heavenly Father Lord and Creator,
The gift of children you gave none greater;
A hope of a new tomorrow for a generation,
That is able to benefit from your salvation;
Thank you for each child put on this earth,
That's accomplished by the miracle of birth;
We nurture and care for the child to grow,
Through the fantastic times and the woe;
You have tasked us with the responsibility,
To raise them with the honor and nobility;
With your help they can be molded in a way,
Having the potter's hand to form the clay;
Help us as we guide their lives to learn,
Able to mature and gain respect for to earn;
Please give us guidance with moral advise,
Show us how to punish when the need arise,
Violence and iniquity from them to depart,
Fill emptiness with Spirit in their heart;
Care of discipline and affection to the day,
It's in Jesus Christ we ask of to pray. Amen
