A Prayer for Every Child

We thank you, Heavenly Father, 
for your great and unending love 
for each and every child. 
In your perfect wisdom, 
you have created us for family-  
that every child may grow surrounded in love 
and with a sense of belonging. 
May your heart be our heart, 
and your plan be our guide: 

For every child's heart, joy. 
For every child's soul, meaning. 
For every child's body, protection. 
For every child's mind, peace. 
For every child, family.

Amen.
