Prayers for Children

Lord,

Thank you for keeping us safe tonight. The boys had a great time and we now have more candy than we ever needed.

Please be with all the other trick or treaters as they go through the night. Keep them safe and warm. For those that did not get to go at all, be near them and let them know that Your love is more treat than any other thing.

In Jesus Christ, Amen.

Lord,

I pray for all the little ones. Bless them and keep them safe.

In Jesus Christ, Amen.

Prayers for Children

Lord,

Please watch over all the little ones tonight. If you could give me a little guidance too, that would be awesome. I feel like I am going into this blind. Anyway, please be with the little ones. Keep them safe and warm.

In Jesus Christ, Amen.

Prayers for Children

Lord,

I am thankful I have the chance to learn. There are wonderful people around and if I take the time I can learn so much from them. Tonight I learned about a tool to spread faith to my kids. It is simple and easy, but maybe not easy to do. There will be obstacles, but I committed to trying this for 40 days. I will try.

I pray that You would give other parents this chance. The little ones deserve to learn about You in a loving way. They can ask questions, talk and pray with their families. I want that for all the kids. For them to have Your name on them. For them to be prayed for and loved. I pray for them. I do not know them, but I know there are so many out there that do not have anything. I pray for them to know You and know You are with them through all their low times. May their lows become highs for them to enjoy with You.

In Jesus Christ, Amen.

Prayers

Lord,

Today was hard. The level of frustration just reached a new height. I pray that you would help me know what to do.

I pray for all the kids whose parents do not know what to do. Help them find each other. Help them teach and listen. Help them love.

I held my son after a bad day today and loved him as much as I could. I kissed him and hugged him hoping he would know that even though I was upset today, I still love him. I want the best for him. I want the life You have created for him. I do not know how to help him. I ask that you help me to help him.

God, I also ask that you help me make my decisions. I seem to be on the verge of something, but I do not know what. The idea of working again makes me kind of ill, but I know we need the income. Help me know what path is right. Where do I go? Also, the decision a friend gave me to make. I have no trouble thinking of reasons the answer is no, but in my heart I know the answer is yes. I just do not know the rest. Help me choose wisely. I need a teacher. I want a teacher. Please help me find the one that can help me.

I ask all these things in Jesus Christ, Amen.

Lord,

I thank you for listening to prayers for the little girl out East. She is home and feeling better. I ask you to help all the little ones go home. Help them heal from whatever ails them.

In Jesus Christ, Amen.

Prayers

Lord,

I am finding that I have much more than I ever realized. You have given me so much and I have never appreciated it as I should. My eyes are beginning to open and I see the people around me. I did not realize how many were around me. It is amazing what you see when you look.

I pray You would give me a path. More specifically, I need help starting down a path. Something I need to do is getting clearer, but I need help with the how. My good friend has suggested something for me to do, but I am not sure how to do it. I want to make the effort, but I am just not sure who to aim for. I am asking You to give me some options. I need to learn and I am asking for a teacher.

I also pray for the little ones. Keep them safe, warm and fed. How can I help? What can I do? It is time to get involved and learn.

Lord, if it is meant for me to return to work, please help me with that. I really do not know where to go. I want to be here for my family, but I need to help support the family too. Keep us together. We are starting to pull apart and more strain will only cause us to snap. Hold us together, but also show me the road to go down. I ask you to guide me. I have faith, You will provide as you always have. Thank you.

In Jesus Christ, Amen.

Lord,

Keep all the little ones safe.

In Jesus Christ, Amen.

Prayers

Lord,

Thank you for my friend. We had a good chat today and I learned things I had not thought of before. The pessimist in me is not sure anything will actually change, but I am hopeful that in telling someone I will be held accountable. Even though I do not want to, I take the easy way out. I assume what will go wrong and sometimes will not try.

I pray You would stay with me as I figure these new things out. Help me get on the path You want me on. Tomorrow is a big day for nine children. Please be with us as we make our way through the day. I hope we can get through the day with a light heart. Any success I will give to You. Help us relax and enjoy our time together.

In Jesus Christ, Amen.

Lord,

I pray all the little ones are safe, warm, fed and in Your care.

In Jesus Christ, Amen.

Prayers for Children

Father,

I have been wondering if You hear me. I am still praying and talking, but feeling more alone. I know You are here with me. Last night I asked you to help a little girl many miles away. I have never even met her. Today I found out she is better. She is home with her family and on the road to recovery. Thank you. Maybe it was not my prayer alone that helped her, but I sure feel like it did help. What fantastic things You can do. I have no idea of the power You are capable of. I only know it is great and mighty.

Lord, I pray that all the kids would be well enough to go home to their families. I am sure they are tired of hospital people, treatments and food. They want their princess sheets and Spider Man pillows. I thank you for the good health of my family. I know You keep us going each day and for that I am grateful.

In Jesus Christ, Amen.

Prayers for Children

Lord,

Thank You for today. The weather was nice, the sun was shining. The kids were manageable. It was one of those days that is just regular, but after many difficult days, regular was wonderful. We go to do fun things and normal things, but overall the day was good. I am thankful for a break in the storm.

I pray for a particular little girl on the East coast. She is sick with quite a few issues and her parents are frazzled. She is getting medical help. I pray that You would be with her as she fights to regain her health. Be with her doctors as they work to treat her. Lord, only You can truly heal her with Your power through the doctors. Give them strength to keep going each day and night to fight the germs.

I ask you to be with children everywhere fighting for their lives. They are so strong to go through all the medical procedures they do. I know You are with them, beside them, carrying them. You help them all endure, all the while loving them and teaching them. As I heard today, sometimes they lose their battles as Your Son did. It is all in Your plan. You are with us always.

In Jesus Christ, Amen.

Prayers for Children

Lord,

I pray that you would be with all the little ones. Hold them close, keep them warm and safe. I pray they would not be hungry as they fall asleep and have sweet dreams.

In Jesus Christ, Amen.

Prayers for Children

Lord,

I have been thinking about kids a lot today. Specifically mine, but really children in general. If I act like someone is watching me all the time I act a differently in front of my kids. When we are home behind closed doors I am more likely to get angry at them. So, today, I was thinking that You are watching me all the time. Am I acting like I want You to see me? Not really. This means I need to act differently than normal. I am really going to need your help.

Tonight I pray for the children that need their parents to have a bit of an attitude adjustment. They do not deserve to be treated any way other than the way You intended. Children are a gift and we should treat them as such. When we get tired and frustrated it is time to call on You and friends to come help. I pray the kids can explore and learn and have the parents to treat them well.

In Jesus Christ, Amen.

Prayers for Children

Lord,

Four years ago today You gave me my first. I still remember and probably always will. I pray for all the moms preparing for their first blessing. Keep them healthy and safe.

In Jesus Christ, Amen.

Prayers for Children

Father,

I am at a loss for words. Thank you for giving me my oldest blessing. Four years ago today I was in the hospital waiting and wondering. You gave me a beautiful boy and he has been my guy since then. There have been lots of ups and downs, but through it all he has been a bright shining light in my life. He teaches me so much.

I pray for all the birthday boys and girls. May their light shine extra bright. May they all have cakes and cookies and a special gift to open. I pray that you will teach me to be patient and kind during the downs and appreciative of the ups.

In Jesus Christ, Amen.

Prayers for Children

Lord,

I pray for all of them. Hold them and keep them warm. Walk with them and keep them safe. Guide them and teach them Your ways. Inspire us as parents to do the right things, the hard things, the things in Your plan. Be with us.

In Jesus Christ, Amen.

Prayers

God,

It has been kind of a long day. Not a bad day, but long. Maybe my tiredness is making me feel so weak right now. I am angry and upset and having trouble focusing my thoughts on You and the prayers I need. My marriage is not on solid foundation. There have been pressures put on it that have crushed the spirit we had. We used to be such a team. Now we are both talking and not hearing. There are things I have tried to explain in the last few months, but I know he is not hearing me. The same issues keep coming up, the same questions. We talk and he walks away like everything is OK. It is not OK.

I feel like things are falling apart. The life we led is coming to a halt. I am looking to You to pull us through. Your hands are bigger and meant to hold these things. Walk with me and give me insight as to what I should do. Lead me to where I am to go. Right now, I am open. Things need to change and there has not been a better time to touch my heart and tell me where to go.

Lord, I would pray you open our hearts to hear each other, to really listen. I pray our little family can rise up from the ashes. What changes lie ahead? You are in control and I trust You to lead me.

I pray for my kids and kids everywhere whose parents are having issues. I pray you would walk with the kids and the parents. Bring harmony. Bring love. Bring peace. Lord I know you have a plan for all of us. I pray we can hear the small voice and follow.

In Jesus Christ, Amen.

Prayers for Children

Lord,

As a frustrated parent, I pray for patience. I know there is a plan for my life and the lives of my family. Some days I have a hard time getting over the small stuff that happens during the day. It makes me more frustrated and that allows me to get angry faster. I hate being angry at my family. I hate the kind of person I become. I do not know how to not get so upset about those little things. How do I overcome?

I pray for the little ones that witness the anger and frustration of adults. They do not deserve it. Sure, they get out of control and do stupid things, but they do not deserve meanness or spite. Yes, I will get angry if my kid steals the car and wrecks it, but I still love him. I will work with him. At least, I hope so. I pray for those kids that have heard the voices so loud they ring in their ears. For the kids that flinch and jump when their parents speak. For the kids whose parents feel they do not even deserve the effort. I do not know how to do it, but I pray that You will show me and give me patience to learn how to change. We get so busy fighting the fire we have no time to teach fire safety. Help us slow down and find a way to teach our kids something better than yelling.

Take away those awful images of parents yelling at kids. Give those kids the sweetest dreams.

In Your Son, Jesus Christ, Amen.

Prayers

Lord,

I am thankful I have the opportunities I do. I should not complain about them. There are people that never get to do the things I get to. I worry about money even though there will be enough to pay the mortgage. Some folks do not have that. I truly am lucky and blessed. I have two lovely kids and a good husband. My eyes get funny and do not see it as great as it really is. Then the complaints start and I get frustrated. I should be happy and thankful for what is here in front of me. There are times I just cannot seem to think straight. The 'stuff' starts calling my name. Buy me. Get me. We do not need any of it, but yet I buy it.

Tonight I pray that I could see what I am doing. That parents can balance giving their kids all they need and just a few they want. I tend to give everything. Help me set and stick to limits. Help parents everywhere make healthy choices. Help us keep our kids healthy and teach them limits. You have a plan and I feel pretty safe in saying it doesn't include owning every toy ever made. Give us strength to stick to the limits and hear the complaints from the kids. They will learn too. Lead us from a place of needing stuff to appreciating everything You give to us.

In Jesus Christ, Amen.

Prayers

Lord, Father,

Thank you for this day. It was cold and windy, but we were all together and doing the things we like. There is something about going to church each week to learn and worship. I feel like a different person. The kids were good and entertaining to boot.

I pray for many things tonight. First, please help my boy. He is in pain and having such a hard time. I ask that you help his tiny bottom heal. He has been a champ, but I know he is tiring of the situation. He is wearing down. Please help him. I also ask for strength for those of us caring for him. It is so hard to hear him so sad and in pain. Things have to be taken care of and we are doing the best we can, but I ask you to be with us and keep us strong for him.

I pray for kids that are cold. Whether they have no home, no coat or just no money to pay the bill I pray they can stay warm. Cold season has hit with a force and I pray You would take care of them. Give them a way. Coats donated, gas bills paid for them, something. It is in Your wisdom I trust. I pray they do not have to suffer this winter.

I pray for myself tonight. Help me change. Help me be the person I should be. The person living in Your image. Guide me through the difficult choices. Give me strength to stay on the right path. Lord, I ask to be different. I desire a different relationship with my family. I desire to do Your will. Help me, guide me.

Lord, You have a plan for our lives. I trust in that. I only ask you keep us on the path to do Your will. Help us do the things we are meant to do.

In Jesus Christ, Amen.

Lord,

I pray for little ones everywhere. May they sleep well and have peace. Please help my little boys bottom. Heal his sores.

In Jesus Christ, Amen.

Prayers for Children

Dear Lord,

Help my little one. We had a lovely day and I cherish our time together. Each week we get some time just the two of us. Today was good, but I could tell he does not feel well. Or, rather, his tush does not feel well. He is growing as You and nature intended and it has been hard on him. His body is not excited about teething and whatever else is happening at this moment. Please be with him. Heal his little bottom so he can be a happy boy again. I also ask for strength for me. It is so difficult to watch him suffer. I have to clean him and try to help him, but the way he screams you would think I am cutting off his leg. Lord, help me get through this time. I know it is going to pass soon and I ask for sooner rather than later.

In Jesus Christ Your Son, Amen.

Prayers for Children

Lord,

Today was awesome. You literally rained down on us all day. We relaxed and enjoyed each other. Rest was had and it was great. There were issues too. One had some tush trouble and teething and the other just could not leave well enough alone. Overall we balanced out.

Tonight I pray for those that have pain. Physical pain and Emotional Pain. I guess we all have this, but to see it in a child seems twice as hard. I pray You would be in their lives and heal them. Make them better to learn and enjoy their lives. From the tiniest boo boo to the biggest, baddest illness I ask You to heal them, be with them. When we hurt we take comfort knowing someone is there to care for us. You are always there to care for us.

In Jesus Christ, Amen.

Prayers for Children

Lord,

Sometimes I feel so empty. Like my words are empty and there is no meaning to them. I am trying to push through it and go on anyway. You are with us in bad times too, right? I figure, who better to talk with in times of trouble, than You.

I pray for those with no one to go to. May they go to You. May they lift their voices to talk to the One that always listens. May their words reach You even when they feel empty. Fill us all with Your love and grace.

In Jesus Christ, Amen.

Prayers for Children

Lord,

Tonight I pray for kids that do not have any extra. I pray they would find something special to call their own. My kids have all they want and not because I give them everything, but because there are so many people around to take care of them. They are not hungry or cold. My family has the means to buy them a new coat if need by. What about the ones that are not so lucky? Who will give them seconds, or firsts? Who will buy them a coat? Who will make sure they have a toy to play with? How do we balance things out? Some families have so much and some so few...Can't we share? Lord, teach me how. Show me how to help where I can. What can I do? Guide me and teach me. Lead me where I should be.

Keep them warm and fed. Help them find the help they need.

In Jesus Christ, Amen.

Prayers for Children

Lord,

I have been talking with you a lot lately. It feels good. Sometimes I wish I had a person here to talk to, but at least I know You listen. Last night was tough and talking to You seemed to calm and relax me. Sometime in the night I was able to drift off for a couple of hours.

Tonight I pray that all the kids could have someone in their lives to listen. Not just to sit and stare, but to really take it all in. A person to show kindness and interest. Lord, I ask You to put that person in their lives. I know they should talk and pray to You, but they also need someone here to help them. A person to guide them and show them the way, Your way.

In Jesus Christ, Amen.

Prayers

Lord,

I am having a hard time being selfless. I cannot seem to think of others while things in my own life are raging. I am trying to be calm and peaceful, but not having much luck. Please help me. I need you.

I am trying to take this time to pray for others. Please be with all the children. The babies, the older ones and all in between. Love them, care for them. Be a guide in their lives. Give them that one person that makes a difference. I would pray they see You and hear You and know and follow You.

I pray for my friend P. May she hear You and be guided by You as she makes her way through life.

I pray for the ladies at M. I hope they are refreshed and learn about You. Some have not found a church to call home and I would pray they are led to find one. May each person find the voice to invite someone to share their Sunday.

I pray for my family. I pray that we could all communicate and get along. That we could be understanding and to help fill the needs of others.

I pray for me, my husband and kids. I desire us all to know You, though I am not sure how. We attend church in an effort to learn more, but we are not following through with more. I pray each night and hope You hear me. I ask for help and guidance as I clearly do not know what to do. My mind has been churning with thoughts and ideas, but I have done nothing to act on them. I am not sure where to turn so I have stayed still.

Lord, I pray all these things in Jesus Christ, Amen.

Prayer for Me

Lord,

Sometimes I do not understand the plan You have for me. In the long run I hope to know, and I understand that I may never really know. Right now I am upset and trying hard not to fight You on this. There must be a reason. I look forward to this each week and to have to miss it is making me very sad. To have to miss out just hours before the start is making me even more sad. I know it is wrong, but all I want right now is some sympathy. Hearing someone tell me it is OK and even ask how I am would comfort me. So I am asking You to help me. Help me relax. Help me feel better. Help me heal - quickly. Help me understand Your plan. In short, help me, please.

In Jesus Christ, Amen.

Prayers for Children

Lord,

What a wonder children are. They confuse, anger, love, teach and melt your heart all in the span of a minute. How do you lead them? How do you teach them and not get overcome? I am overwhelmed by the frustration and love I feel. How do I get past it? I pray for peace. Peace in my heart and mind, knowing You are there to guide me and help me. Help me know when to give them guidance and when to let them learn on their own. Please, help me be the mother You created me to be. The one that loves, yet teaches.

In Jesus Christ, Amen.

Prayers for Children

Lord,

For those that are hungry, I pray for a meal. For those that are cold, I pray for shelter. For those that are lonely, I pray for love. Be with them. Give them hope, faith and love.

In Jesus Christ, Amen.

Prayers for Children

Lord,

I pray for all the children.

In Jesus Christ, Amen.
