Prayer for Children
A parent's daily offering for their children
Parents carry their children's safety, character, and future close to the heart, often without words for all they hope and fear. This prayer gives voice to that constant, wordless watching, entrusting sons and daughters to the God who welcomed little children into His own arms. It is often prayed alongside the Prayer for Families as part of a parent's daily routine.

When to Pray This
Pray it each morning as children leave for school, each night after they are asleep, or whenever a particular worry about their safety, health, or choices weighs on you. It is also fitting during milestones — a first day, a difficult friendship, a big decision — when you feel your influence over them beginning to loosen.
Benefits of This Prayer
Praying for your children regularly does not remove the work of raising them, but it reorders your heart, reminding you that they belong to God before they belong to you. Over time it softens the anxious grip parents can fall into, replacing it with a steadier trust, and it makes you more patient and less reactive in the daily friction of family life.
