Morning Prayers for Children
It is a wonderful thing to pray with your children and share with them the joy of being able to connect with the maker of all things and the God who loves us deeply! This page has three simple and short prayers suitable for saying together with your children in the morning. The first prayer reflects on the excitement and joy of walking with God in the day ahead. This is followed by a more reflective morning prayer asking to be able to "hear your voice in the quiet". Finally, if you have a toddler, you may wish to say the "thank you" prayer with them.

Dear Jesus,
Help us to jump into this new day
With a song of joy in our hearts.
Fill of energy and hope
Holding tightly to your hand
Excited to share another day with you.

You made a brilliant world.
Blue skies and fluffy clouds.

Tall mountains and deep sea.
Kind grandmas and fun granddads.
Funny brothers and caring sisters.
Lovely mummies and fantastic daddies
And wonderful me!
