Prayer for Children
Dear God,
My child is so precious to me.
Please give me the words
You would have me speak
For my child's welfare.
Cleanse my mind of worry.
Fill my mind, instead, with the knowledge
Of how much You love my baby
And how strong Your power is to protect.
Help me hold this vision:
You speak to my child and guide her in Right Action
As she explores life, she hears Your Voice clearly
She listens to Your whispered warnings
She follows Your guidance
And she is safe in Your love.
And if she is so full of enthusiasm
or confusion
that she takes a wrong step,
You hold out Your arms, dear Lord, and catch her.
You whisper and paths change.
Danger turns away.
And my child, hearing You, turns toward safety.
For nothing is stronger than You.
No evil can circumvent Your Knowing.
No voice can speak louder.
No force can move mountains as You can.
Nothing can penetrate Your Net of Protection around my child
As You now move Heaven and Earth to protect her.
You are The Protector of all innocents, no matter their age.
And I decreeand You knowthat my child is an innocent.
So I rest easy, knowing I have turned over the care of my child
To Your Infinite Wisdom
And that You never fail me.
I affirm my child is safe in Your Arms, now and forever.
Thank You for teaching her
—through me and through others—
about her inner beauty, her Divinity and her worth.
Thank You for guiding me in teaching her how to be safe
Without making her afraid.
Thank You for helping us both stay so connected to You
That we cannot help but hear the "inner voice" that keeps us safe.
Thank You for teaching my child such great self love and respect
That she takes tender care of herself always.
Thank You for the happy days ahead of us.
For it is a new millennium in which Your power and wisdom reigns.
As Jesus said: "Ask and ye shall receive;"
So do I speak The Word which You infuse with absolute power:
My child is safe.
Thank You, God.
And so it is.
Amen.
