Praying for Your Child

Exodus 1:17

King James Version (KJV)

But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the men children alive.

I'm a pushover for all things nostalgic and antiquated. Even prayers. Prayers For Special Help has collections of prayers from out-of-print have been taken from out-of-print prayer and clergy textbooks. Their collection is very diverse and cover a range of subjects. For this post I chose to focus on Prayers for Children. The prayers are very sweet and enjoyable to read. 


Here are a few of my favorites:

A Child's Morning Prayer

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.

Look Upon a Little Child

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!

Bring Healing to Our Child

Lord, you love our child as You love all children,

Bring healing to our child who is not well.

Stay by his side and comfort him through this trying time.

Keep us ever mindful of Your loving presence

Bless us with Your powerful healing and comfort us also.

Thank You for hearing our prayer!

I pray that the Lord will bless you and your children today!
