a parent's prayer for their children
Heavenly Father,
Help me to trust you to look after my children,
A piece of my heart is with them always.
You have watched over them from their first moments.
You created them so perfectly.
They are such a gift.
Help me to love and care for them.
Cover my mistakes with forgiveness and grace.
Lead us as a family to build our relationships
Upon the foundation of your hope and truth.
Amen.

Celtic Prayer for the home
An ancient prayer for the protection of your family home
Prayer for my family
(a prayer suitable for a parent to pray for the wellbeing and protection of their children)Lord be besides us, every day
Guiding and leading us gently always.
Lord be above us, help us to see
The hope of the future, of all we could be.
Lord be beneath us, carry us when
We’re too shattered or tired to really have strength.
Lord be ahead of us, smoothing our paths
Protecting and blessing the places we pass.
Lord be behind us, healing our wounds,
Forgiving our mistakes and making us new.
Jesus, be within us, this family is yours
Now and forever, you are our Lord.
