Common Book of Prayer

“God,
you see your children growing up
in an unsteady and confusing world;
Show them that your ways
give more life than the ways of the world,
and that following you is better
than chasing after selfish goals.
Help them to take failure,
not as a measure of their worth,
but as a chance for a new start.
Give them strength to hold their faith in you,
and to keep alive their joy in your creation;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.”
(from the Common Book of Prayer)

  1. Love that prayer! I’ve felt an urgency to pray for my kids more and more every day. The picture of your kids taken at the ferry – that’s about 2 miles from where I live! I will sometimes drive down to Sunset (like everyone else!) and just sit in my car. It’s so peaceful there.
