Grandparent’s Day Prayer
  Loving God, you have given us the wonderous gift of grandmothers and grandfathers. Your gracious love is reflected in their love and care for us. We thank you, Lord, for the surprises grandmas bring, and for the mending they do. We thank you, Lord, for the toys that grandpas fix and the stories they read to us. We thank you, Lord, for the ways that our grandparents spoil us, for the celebrations they never forget, and for all the snuggles they give. We thank you for giving us grandparents to share their wisdom, to listen to us, to be there loving us.
We thank you, Lord. Amen.
   
 

World Youth Day- A Prayer for Youth
 
We offer to you, loving God, the gifts and needs of youth.
Bless them with your guiding grace
as they face the challenges and opportunities in their lives.
Touch their hearts with the gentleness of your love,
that they may know they are valued and valuable beings.
Send your spirit of hope to their lives,
that they may believe in themselves
and know they are needed in this world.
Grace them with the gift of joy
that they may celebrate life through laughter and tears alike.
Guide us, as we continue to grow
in our appreciation of the many gifts of young people,
in the ministry opportunities we offer to them,
in the journey of faith we walk with them,
in our shared mission as a community called to discipleship in the world.
We ask this in Jesus’ name.
Amen.
   
 

A Child's Prayer
 
God make my life a little light,
Within the world to glow;
A tiny flame that burneth bright
Wherever I may go.
God make my life a little flower,
That giveth joy to all,
Content to bloom in native bower,
Although its place be small.
God make my life a little song,
That comforteth the sad;
That helpeth others to be strong,
And makes the singer glad.
God make my life a little staff,
Whereon the weak may rest,
That so what health and strength I have
May serve my neighbors best.
