WE ARE PRAYING FOR OUR CHILDREN
Father, hear us, we are praying,
Hear the words our hearts are saying,
We are praying for our children.
Keep them from the powers of evil,
From the secret, hidden peril,
Father, hear us for our children.
From the whirlpool that would suck them,
From the treacherous quicksand, pluck them,
Father, hear us for our children.
From the worldling's hollow gladness,
From the sting of faithless sadness,
Father, Father, keep our children.
Through life's troubled waters steer them,
Through life's bitter battle cheer them,
Father, Father, be Thou near them.
Read the language of our longing,
Read the wordless pleadings thronging,
Holy Father, for our children.
And wherever they may 'bide,
Lead them Home at eventide.
~ Amy Carmichael
The above prayer is a heart-cry for our children. I would encourage you to print it off so you can pray it OUT LOUD to the Father. Don't just read it, but pray it.
