Prayer for Children
Our Lord our God , You graciously, consented to descend from heaven and to be born of the holy Theotokos for the salvation of humankind. We beseech You, the righteous and compassionate Father, to have mercy upon us all , your children. We pray to You, You who asked the little children to come to You, receive our prayers at this present time.
We come to You, thanking You for the beautiful gift of children, and we beseech you to safeguard them in Your loving, paternal arms. Keep them innocent in this life. Shelter them in the shadow of Your wings from this day to the end of their lives. Protect them throughout their lives, so that they may know You as the loving Father. Guide them in the tribulations and distresses of this life, so that they may identify You as Author of Life.
O Christ our God, keep watch over them and bless them all. For to You are due all glory and thanksgiving and worship, as to Your Father Who is from everlasting, and Your all-holy,good and life-giving Spirit, always now and forever, and to the ages of ages.Amen.
