Gentle Jesus

Gentle Jesus, meek and mild,
Look upon a little child
Make me gentle as Thou art,
Come and live within my heart.
Take my childish hand in Thine,
Guide these little feet of mine.
So shall all my happy days,
Sing their pleasant song of praise
And the world shall always see
Christ, the Holy Child, in me.
(Charles Wesley)
************************
Dear Jesus
My daddy is so very far away
I think about him every day
Bring him safely home I pray.

************************
Father up in heavenly skys
Look upon my family
Look upon my little mouse
My kitten, and all inside our house.
Look upon my pop and gran
Thank you God, Amen.

*******************

Thank you for the world so sweet,
Thank you for the food we eat,
Thank you for the birds that sing,
Thank you, God, for everything.
(Mrs.E.Rutter)

*******************
We thank Thee, heavenly Father
For every earthly good,
For life, and health and clothing,
And for our daily food.
Oh, give us hearts to thank Thee
For every blessing sent,
And whatso'er Thou sendest
Make us therewith content. Amen

********************
Dear Lord, of Thee three things I pray
To know Thee more clearly,
To love Thee more dearly,
And to serve Thee every day.

***************
Heavenly Father, hear our prayer,
Keep us in Thy loving care.
Guard us through the livelong day
In our work and in our play.
Keep us pure and sweet and true
In everything we say and do. Amen.

*********************
Now the light has gone away,
Saviour, listen while I pray,
Asking Thee to watch and keep
And to send me quiet sleep.

***********************
Forgive me if I have this day
Done any wrong in work or play,
Oh, help me always to do right,
And bless me every day and night. Amen

************************
Lord, teach a little child to pray,
And oh, accept my prayer,
Thou canst hear all the words I say
For Thou art everywhere.
A little sparrow cannot fall,
Unnoticed, Lord, by Thee,
And Though I am so young and small
Thou canst take care of me. Amen.
******************
We thank Thee for this food
And for Thy loving care,
Father of children everywhere.
We have so much, dear Father,
We ask a chance to share
Our many, many blessings
With children everywhere. Amen

Dear God
I pray that you will keep us safe when we are travelling.
And you will bring us closer together as a family.
Thank you for all the beautiful things you have made for us to enjoy.
And thank you God that you never go on holiday and for listening to our prayers. Amen
