A Special Request..

After publishing my previous post “When My Daughter Prays”, I received a request from a parent to post a child’s bedtime prayer. I am sharing the following two prayers that were found on a children’s prayer website as a response. I particularly liked the “Good Night, God” prayer since it is short and very suitable for very young children just learning their words. The website is called “Children Pray: Advent and Christmas” and lists many other prayers that parents can share with their children.
Here are the prayers:

Thank You, God

The sun so bright up in the sky.

The moon I see way, way up high!

The soft green grass, the plants, the trees

are special giftsGod made for me.

All the people that I love

are blessed by Jesus up above.

My neighbors, friends and family

are special gifts God gave to me.

What gift can I give you my God

in heaven up above?

The thing you want the most from me

is pure and simple...Love!

--Margaret Kennedy

Good Night, God

I love you, God,

with all my might.

Keep me safe

all through the night.

--Margaret Kennedy
