We thank you Lord for giving us children to look at, learn
from, walk with and praise you. We thank you God for having children in
various capacities so that we may remember the paths we have tread and the ones
where we must go back to. May we allow children to bloom and become who you
want them to be dear God. Help us this day and in days to come to respect
children as the creation of God and look at and learn from children who remind
us that life is not just about money and deadlines but relaxing and playing.
Help us God to stop abusing children mentally and physically thinking that we
own them, but to rather value their opinion, common sense and Godliness. Father
God, help us to be good fathers and mothers to every child so that we may care
for them and treat every child as our own. Jesus Christ, teach us to listen to
you and change and become like children so that by welcoming them, we welcome
you. Holy Spirit, fill us with the spirit of motherly and fatherly love which
only sees the good in children and encourages them to follow their dream. May
we stop being possessive and rather responsible, make us realize not to preach
to but to practice with our children, guide us to love unconditionally instead
of expecting to be loved by our
children. We are all your children gracious God. We have sinned and not loved
you many a time and yet you have loved us back. Let this be the model for us to
follow. Not to be loved by our children, but to love them always and in so
doing, to enter into the love of God. Amen.
