I pray…

 

Jesus, I pray for my children,

Their children and generations to come.

I pray for safekeeping,

For their health

And the choices they make.

 

I pray that they will choose

To serve You

With everything they have in them,

That they will turn to You

When things go rough.

 

I pray that You will guide them,

Will lead them in their way to You.

I pray that You will protect them

From the one who wants to steal,

To lure them away from You.

 

I pray that they will run to You

When life brings them down,

That they will never leave nor forsake You

But always run to You

For answers and Your love.

 

I pray that You will enfold them

With Your pure and precious love,

That You will give them Your peace,

That surpasses all understanding,

And hold them close to You.

 

I pray that You will guide

And protect them

And always be by their side

Pulling them closer to You

When they want to take wrong turns.

 

I pray that You will fill them

With the fruit of the Spirit,

With Your wisdom,

And they will always choose

To serve You.

 

I pray that You will always be

Their Light, their Master,

The One that they choose,

The One they sing to,

The One who is always at their side.

 

I pray that You will open up

Your Word for them

And teach them

All about You, Your love

And Your amazing peace.

 

I pray that they will never go astray,

But that they will choose

To serve You,

To tell others about You,

To spend time with You.

 

Oh, Master,

Hold them close to You.

Touch them ever so gently,

And let them just rest in You

Forever and ever I pray.
