First Friday: Prayer for Children

"Behold, children are a gift of the LORD,
the fruit of the womb is a reward."
Psalm 127:3 (NAS).
 
 
Our Father God in Heaven, you are the Creator of the heavens and the earth. You have made us in your image. Thank you for the gift of children. Forgive us for the times we have neglected and mistreated this precious gift.
 
Thank you for the gifts and talents with which you have blessed the children in our world. Your plans for each of them is good. They are fearfully and wonderfully made!
 
Bless children with wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. Bless them, LORD, with good health and strength. Give children humble spirits and grateful hearts. May they always demonstrate a child-like faith in God. May each child honor and obey their parents.
 
Father God, you sent your Son to earth as a baby. You gave him, the name above every name...Jesus. I pray the children in our world will decide to follow Jesus. I pray each will know truth and obey God. Help them to make good choices. Protect our children from harm, injury, and disease. Protect our children from evil. Pour out your Holy Spirit upon their generation. In the holy name of Jesus the Savior...amen.
