Prayers for Children

Prayers for Children

These prayers for children have been taken from out-of-print prayer and clergy textbooks. Our prayer search is a work in progress and we will continue to add more as time goes on. There are prayers for children in trouble, for sick children, for those who are angry or depressed, for those in trouble, and there will continually be more added over time. Feel free to e-mail us your own special ones that you may wish to share with our readers.

Suffer the little children to come unto Me, and forbid them not: for of such is the Kingdom of God."[Mark 10:13]

Prayers for children in trouble

Dear Lord, you have witnessed the rebelliousness of youth since the very beginnings of time. You understand a parent's anguish and helplessness over the actions of his child. Please help us to transform our anger and frustration into loving care for our child who has gone astray. Help us begin to mend our broken fences and heal our broken hearts. Bless our child and also help him to mend the error of his ways. Help and bless us all to do right in Your name and restore us to peace and tranquility.

"Forgive the rebellious sins of youth ..."Psalm 25:7

Blessings for children

Blessed is the Child of Light
Who doth seek his heavenly Father
For he shall have eternal life.

He that dwelleth in the secret place
Of the Most High
Shall abide under the shadow
of the Almighty.
For he shall give his Angels charge over thee
To keep thee in all thy ways.

Know ye that the Lord hath been
Our dwelling place
In all generations.
Before the mountains were brought forth,
Or ever he had formed
The earth and the world
Even from everlasting to everlasting,
Hath there been love
Between the Heavenly Father
And his children.

And how shall this love be severed?
From the beginning
Until the ending of time
Doth the holy flame of love
Encircle the heads
Of the Heavenly Father
And the Childen of Light:
How then shall this love be extinguished?

For not as a candle doth it burn,
Nor yet as a fire raging in the forest.
Lo, it burneth with the flame
Of Eternal Light,

And that flame cannot be consumed.

[from the Essene Gospel of Jesus]

Bible, Guinessis, God got tired
of creating the world
so He took the Sabbath off."

"Adam and Eve were created
from an apple tree. Noah's wife

salt during the day, but a ball
of fire during the night."

let himself be led astray by a
Jezebel like Delilah."

with the axe of the Apostles."

Sea where they made unleavened bread,
which is bread without any ingredients."

Eve told Adam to ear the apple."

"The Seventh Commandment is
Thou shalt not admit adultery."

Canada. Then Joshua led the Hebrews
in the Battle of Geritol."

Bible is when Joshua told his son
to stand still and he obeyed him."

300 wives and 700 porcupines."

Prayers for our children when they are angry or depressed

Heavenly Father, my child is your greatest gift,
and my biggest challenge! I know my child is truly
distressed, and yet I am at my wit's end to find a peaceful
resolution. I feel helpless and frustrated. I ask myself, What would my Heavenly Father do in His infinite wisdom and beneficence?
Lord, come into my heart and mind, and share Your loving
wisdom with me! Help my child to heal his pain, and help me
to become as loving and wise a parent, as You are for us
Your children. Thank You Lord, for hearing me and coming to my
aid! Bring your loving Peace to me and my child today. Amen.

More prayers for children

My children, know you not that the Earth
And all that dwells therein
Is but a reflection of the
Kingdom of the Heavenly Father?

And as you are suckled and comforted
By your mother when a child,
But you go to join your father in the fields
When you grow up,
So do the Angels of the Earthly Mother
Guide your steps
Toward him who is your Father,
And all his holy Angels,
That you may know your true home
And become true Sons of God.

While we are children,
We will see the rays of the sun,
But not the Power which created it;
While we are children,
We will hear the sounds of the flowing brook,
But not the Love which created it;
While we are children,
We will see the stars,
But not the hand which scatters them
Through the sky,
As the farmer scatters the seed.

Only through the Communions
With the Angels of the Heavenly Father,
Will we learn to see the unseen,
To hear that which cannot be heard,
And to speak the unspoken word.

Prayers for Children: Poem

Lord, look upon a little child,
By nature sinful, weak and wild;
O lay Thy gracious hands on me,
And make me all I ought to be.

Gentle Jesus, meek and mild,
Look upon a little child;
Pity my simplicity
Suffer me to come to Thee.

O supply my every want
Feed this young and tender plant
Day and night my keeper be,
And every moment watch round me. Amen!

Come, Holy Spirit, come
Let thy bright beams arise,
Dispel the darkness from our minds,
And open all our eyes.

Revive our drooping faith,
Our doubts and fears remove,
And kindle in our breasts the flame
Of everlasting Love. Amen!

Lord, I awake and see your light,
For You have kept me through the night,
To You I lift my hands and pray,
Keep me from sin throughout this day,
And if I die before it's done,
Save me through Jesus Christ, Your Son.
