Lord, thank you for being everything we need

Lord, thank you for breathing your living your life into our lungs

Lord, thank you for allowing us to be who you designed us to be

Lord, thank you for giving us the strength to become closer to you daily

Lord, today we lift you the children Lord, the children who have empty bellys that you fill them and that they do not go to bed hungry

The children who have no home Lord that they have shelter

The children who are sick be raised up and healed

The children who are living under the human conditions of others that cause harm – Lord that you place someone in their lives who they can go to for help – Lord place a shield around them

The children whose lives are cut short Lord that they lay peacefully in you

The children who are separated from their family Lord that you repair the cause for the separation

The children who have lost their caregivers or siblings – that their grief be a source of strength and their hearts be made whole

Lord for the children who know you continue to let their light shine and who your Good works

Lord that the joy they have be contagious

Lord thank you for keeping us close to you

Lord thank you for the renewal of our minds that we are continually transformed

Lord, thank you, We love you

In Jesus’ name

Amen
