PRAYERS FOR CHILDREN

Lord’s Prayer (or Prayer of Jesus)

*Father, we pray that your name
will always be kept holy.
We pray that your kingdom will come.
Give us the food we need for each day.
Forgive us the sins we have done,
Because we forgive every person
who has done wrong to us
And do not cause us to be tested  Amen
(from the International Children’s Bible)

God’s truth will last forever
May all the people praise God  Amen

For all our food  Amen

Dear God

Dear God help me see

I Am One of Your Children
I am one of your children
Just like Jesus was
And every day I grow
I am one of you children
Just like my parents are

Help me and guide me
