Prayer for our Children

(I did not write this...but I don't remember where I got it either.)


O God, our heavenly Father, Who loves all of mankind, and Who is merciful and compassionate, have mercy upon our children, Your servants, (especially my son Jeff), for whom I humbly pray, and commend to Your gracious protection.

O God, be their guide and guardian in all their endeavors. Lead them in the path of truth. Draw them near to You, that they may lead godly and righteous lives, doing Your will in all matters. Give them grace that they may be temperate, industrious, diligent, devout, and charitable all their days.

O God, defend them against the assaults of the enemy, and grant them wisdom and strength to resist all temptation and corruption of this life. Direct them in the way of salvation, for the merits of Your Son, our Savior, Jesus Christ, and the intercessions of His Holy Mother, and all Your blessed saints. We pray this in Your most holy name.


Amen.
