Father, We Thank Thee
Father, we thank thee for the night,And for the pleasant morning light;For rest and food and loving care,And all that makes the day so fair.Help us to do the things we should,To be to others kind and good;In all we do, in work or play,To grow more loving every day. 

Every Day Prayer
He wakes me up; He makes me sleep.Provides for me the food I eat.When I cry, I call on Him,Because I know with Him I win.Even through the hardest day,I trust in Him in every way.He's the One who sees me through,Jesus lives, I know it's true.With loving-kindness, He smiles on me.Because He died, I am free.Lord, for all, I thank you so,I know you'll never let me go!Amen

Lord, in the Morning
Lord, in the morning I start each day,By taking a moment to think and pray.Beginning with thanks, I then give praiseFor all your kind and loving ways.Today if sunshine turns to rain,If a dark cloud brings some pain,I won't doubt or hide in fearFor you, my God, are always near.I will travel where you lead;I will help my friends in need.Where you send me, I will go;With your help, I'll learn and grow.Hold my family in your hands,As we follow your commands.And I will keep you close in sightUntil I climb in bed tonight.Amen.

I am grateful
God, thank You for this day! Thank You for the birds and the animals, the flowers and the trees, the lakes and the streams, and the sun that rises and sets over them each day. Thank You for creating everything we see! Thank You for the life we live, and for making each person different. Thank You for Jesus, who died for us so that we can go to heaven one day just for believing in Him. What an amazing God You are! 
Amen.

I am Sad
God, I am sad. But You are good, and You are there. You listen to me when I cry. I can cry to You and tell You what is wrong.  Even when I don’t know what to say, I can just pray, “Help me, God, I’m so sad.” You promise that whatever I am going through, You will be there. Thank You for always loving me, even when I am really sad. Thank You for this day, even though it’s not been the best day. Show me how to cheer up. Help me to be happy. Help me to see and remember all of the good things You have given me, and dry my tears.  
Amen.

For My Friend
God, Thank You for my friend.  You tell us that it is not good to be alone, God, and bless us with family and friends all around us. Thank You for giving us people to talk to and laugh with.  I pray for my friend today, that they have a good day and a blessed life.  They are a blessing to me, God, when I need them the most.  Just like Jesus is to me.  Help me to be kind like Jesus.  To be a good friend to others and spread His love. 
Amen.

Help me
God, Sometimes I don’t feel like talking about what’s wrong. I just want to be mad or sad or frustrated.  I would rather sit by myself.  Sometimes, things feel too big for me to figure out. Sometimes, life seems really unfair.  I need Your help, God.  You are the only One who sees everything and knows everything. You are the only One who knows everything about me.  Can You help me to trust You, today? Please teach me how to take what I feel and give it to You to sort out. 
Amen.
 
 
For My School
God, please bless my school. Thank You for all of the teachers that work so hard to help us learn. Thank You for break and lunchtime, when we get to play with our friends.  Thank You for providing a place where we can learn more about the world You created for us to live in, and how it works.  Please keep my school safe.  Protect all of the adults and all of the children that come to school every day. Protect us from harm, and help us to be kind to each other. 
Amen.
 
For My Mum
God, Thank You for my Mum. She helps me grow into the person You made me to be.  Even though I don’t always listen, I love her everyday… all of the time.  Just like You love us.  She loves me when I have good days, and when I’m naughty.  Help me to be obedient, even when she tells me to do something I don’t want to do. Thank You for my Mum.  Let her know how much I love her even if I don’t say it very often.
Amen.
 
For My Dad
God, Thank You for my Dad. Like my Mum, he guides me in life by his example and his helping hand. My parents teach me how to do things and help me with my homework.  They both work hard for our family. Thank You so much for my dad.  Please bless him, God and let him know how much I love him. 
Amen.
 
A Prayer for My Sister
God, Thank You for my sister.  You tell us that no family is put together by accident. T hat the people in our lives are placed there by You.  Thank You for making us sisters.  Bless us to be friends like only sisters can be, all the days of our lives.  Help me to be a good example for her, and to be there for her when she needs my support.   Thank You for my sister, God. Bless her today. 
Amen.
 
 For My Brother
God, Thank You for my brother.  The people in our lives are placed there by You.  You love all of us like sons and daughters, more than we can understand!  Thank You for my brother.  He is a very special person in my life.  Someone who is fun to be around, but also understands me.  Our friendship is very special, and I look up to him very much.  Please bless him, Lord. Bless my brother, and keep him safe, today and always. 
Amen.
 
For My Grandparents
God, Thank You for my grandparents.  I love spending time with them.  They always make me feel special and are excited to see me.  Please bless them and keep them healthy and strong.  Protect them from harm and keep them happy and safe until I see them again.  When I miss them, help me to remember all of the fun times we have when we are together.  Thank You, God, for my grandparents. Amen.
