Prayers For Children

by Jeannine Carroll

What were the prayers you were taught as a child?  So many of us were taught this little prayer:

Now I lay me down to sleep.
I pray the Lord my soul to keep.
If I should die before I wake,
I pray the Lord my soul to take.

What were our parents thinking?  Today we would not think of sending a child to bed worrying that they might "Die before they wake"!

Here is a prayer I wrote to replace this one for the children in my life:

As I lay down to sleep tonight,
I pray, Dear Lord, you'll hold me tight
And surround me with your loving arms
Until the morning light.


What are some of the prayers you or your children have prayed?  Please share them with us!
