Prayer for the Protection of Animals
O God, source of life and power, Who feedeth the birds of the heavens, increase our tenderness towards all the creatures of Thy hand. Help us to refrain from petty acts of cruelty, or thoughtless deeds of harm to any living animal. May we care for them at all times, especially during hard weather, and protect them from injury so that they learn to trust us as friends. Let our sympathy grow with knowledge, so that the whole creation may rejoice in Thy presence. - Author Unknown Appropriate for many faiths

To Commit to Purity
Topic: Temptation
To Commit to Purity
Father, I'm praying that (name one or more) and others in my circle of family and friends will be committed to purity...
Keep their feet from every sinful path, from being in the wrong place at the wrong time! Help them not to associate with those who might be a bad influence, who might lead them into temptation. Turn them away from those intent on wrong living and from their own sinful ways. May they follow a path that swerves neither to the right nor the left. (Psalm 119:101; Proverbs 4:14; Acts 3:26; Proverbs 4:26–27)
Help them to trust that there's no temptation they'll ever face that is beyond their saying no, that You will never let them be tempted beyond what they can handle. When they're tempted, provide a way out—and give them the heart to run from sin in Your strength. May the fruit of the Spirit be evident in their lives, especially the fruit of self-control. (1 Corinthians 10:13; Genesis 39:12; Galatians 5:22–23a)
Help them do what You want them to do, certain that every step they take is sure and right. Clear the way for them; hold them securely so if they stumble across temptation, they won't fall. (Psalm 37:23–24)
No matter what mistakes they've made in the past, may they now choose to live in purity.
In Jesus' name, amen. - Jim & Kaye Johns source: "Prayers for the Moment: One-Minute Scripture Prayers" Copyright September 2006. Reprinted with permission of B&H Publishing Group

Prayer for a Baby Who Died
Topic: Children
Prayer for a Baby Who Died
She was so small, so beautiful, so full of hope and promise. What a blessing she has been to all of us who knew her those few short months. She taught us to love, to hope beyond expectation, to trust in that which is unseen. She drew us together in our anxiety, our moments of despairing and hopelessness, as well as in our joys and delight, and in her every breath. Her life ended prematurely; just so had she been born. Too soon she died. We wept. The tears continue. We hugged and held one another. The pain will always linger. Our hearts emptier for her absence and the unfulfilled dreams she promised. But the love she brought into our lives will live forever. Thank you for giving her to us. Thank you for the blessing that she will always be. Thank you for the love we would never have known, but for her and her brief days with us. Thank you for _____, our blessed child of grace. Amen.

Topic: Children
The Gift of a Child
Dear God, I thank You for the gift of this child to raise, this life to share, this mind to help mold, this body to nurture, and this spirit to enrich. Let me never betray this child’s trust, dampen this child’s hope, or discourage this child’s dreams. Help me, dear God, to help this precious child become all you mean him to be. Let your grace and love fall on him like gentle breezes and give him inner strength and peace and patience for the journey ahead. - Marian Wright Edelman Christian, appropriate for many faiths source: “Guide My Feet” (Beacon Press) © 1995 Marian Wright Edelman

It seems, dear God, that my children are growing too quickly up and away from me. I don't know what to say to them anymore. They are no longer the little girls I used to know.
