The Lord’s Prayer for a Child

 

Father we know that you are in heaven,

 and that you look down upon us,

 

May we always remember that you are holy and good,

and that you have our best interests at heart.

 

May all that is your will for us be done,

 

May you have control of our lives.

 

Please give us all that we will need to get us through this day.

 

Please feed all people who are hungry.

 

Forgive us all that we have done that is wrong,

and help us to forgive those who have done something that has hurt us.

 

Help us to be sorry, when we are to blame.

 

Please keep us out of trouble today,

Help us not to look for it.

 

Help us to treat others as we would love to be treated.

Keep evil out of our lives.

Keep love in.

 

Help us to have respect for everyone.

 

For everything belongs to you.

 

Come fill us with your Holy Spirit,

Your  power in our lives and your life in us.

For ever and ever.

Amen.
