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.
