Just Pray -children-1

There are many things that are happening today and we who know the Lord are looking to Him for answers. He is here. He is always here. We will always look to Him, and He will always answer. Today we are going to pray specifically for children.

Heavenly Father, we come before you in the mighty and magnificent name of Jesus Christ. Oh Lord, we know that you are the alpha and the omega, the beginning and the end. We know that you are ever present and that things that are impossible for men are possible with you. We now give thanks for your love and mercy. Your patience and understanding are ever before us. Lord please keep our children safe and secure in the palm of your hand. Teach them your word and your way so that they might please you. Help them to show appreciation and thankfulness to those who help them, and encourage us that we might teach them to extend a hand to those in who are in need. May they know that it is better to give than to receive. Lord I pray that the words of their mouths and the meditations of their hearts would be acceptable to you. Help them to be a friend to the friendless, and an encourager to the hopeless. Help them to do well in school, and to choose their friends wisely. We all ask that you would keep them from hurt, harm, danger, death, and disease. May we be their examples and may we find ourselves acceptable to you. We love you Lord. Grant us your peace in Jesus Name, Amen.
