Children's Prayers
Below are some prayers for children. However, you might like to mix these
with encouraging children to pray themselves - since they may feel less self-conscious
than adults when praying aloud. This also enables them to pray for what they want to pray,
rather than reciting a list of prayers. Some books of childrens' prayers use complex
language, and some even rhyme! The prayers below are deliberately uncomplicated. This
gives children a better pattern for their own prayers.

Dear God,
We are sorry for doing wrong things. Please forgive us. Help us to forgive those who are
unkind to us. Amen.
|
Father God,
As I turn off the light, please be with me. Help me to get to sleep, and please give me
good dreams. Amen. |
Lord Jesus, Thank
you for my friends, and for the games and fun that we share. Please help me to be a good
friend to them. Amen.
|
Father God,
Thank you for my family : and not only for those I live with, but grandparents, uncles,
aunties and cousins. Please be with them today. Amen.

Lord, Help me
to notice people who need my help. Children who are alone without friends, My parents or
teachers, when they need a hand. Amen.

Lord Jesus,
I know that I am your special child, and that you love me. Other children don't know you.
Please may they come to know your love. I particularly pray for _____ and _____. Amen.

God, you are great. You made the world and it's good. Thank
you for making it so beautiful, and we are sorry that we have spoiled it. Amen.

Dear Jesus,
Please help me at school. Sometimes I find it hard, and it's at those times I specially
need your help. I know you are with us always. Amen.
