God, our Creator and loving parent,
thank you for the gift of life.
Cherish me as your child,
and fill my life with the creative power of your love.
Jesus, our saviour and brother,
thank you for showing me the way of love.
Be with me as I try to be like you -
patient, supportive and gentle with my child.
Let me share again the delight and wonder of childhood,
of discovering your face in the little things:
in the vivid petals of a flower,
in the measured movement of the caterpillar,
in the comfort of loving arms around me when I fall.
Spirit of God, our constant friend and guide,
thank you for leading me in the way of faith.
Help me to show my child the loving face of God
during our life together.
Let me bring healing
in times of pain and doubt.
Help me care for my child
materially and spiritually,
and let us always be friends and believers together.
God – Creator, Saviour and Spirit,
you have trusted me with my child’s life.
Help us grow together in all that is good and right.
Be with us in times of joy and in moments of pain.
Let us know that you are there for us,
even when we seem to lose sight of you.
Please be light and warmth in our home and in our hearts. Amen.
