a prayer suitable for young children to say

Dear God,

You made me,
To jump for joy,
To sing happy songs,
To run fast,
To climb high,
To spin and twirl.

You made me
To dance with excitement,
To clap with thanks,
To laugh lots,
To shout loud,
To be a brilliant me!

a prayer for older children
(a short prayer suitable to pray in the morning with your children)

Dear God,

Every day is new
With exciting experiences ahead.
Every day is new
With yesterdays hurts forgiven.
Every day is new
With disappointment fading away.
Every day is new
Because you cause the sun to rise
And our hopes to soar
As your light floods into our hearts
And gives new life.
