A Parent’s Prayer

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.

God our Father,
in giving us this child
You have shown us Your love.
Help us to be trustworthy parents.
Make us patient and understanding,
that our child may always be sure of our love
and grow up to be happy and responsible,
through Jesus Christ our Lord,
Amen.
