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.
