oh Lord,
this prayer is for them, the little hearts you've blessed me with.
the ones who challenge me, the ones who bless me, the ones who bring me to my knees in prayer.
it's for them, their hearts, their lives, their purpose, their generation.
it's for the world they will begin to know.
may they always make time to run through the rain.
may they laugh until it hurts.
may they love without fear of rejection.
may they stand up for truth in the face of persecution.
may they experience the strength of your love.
and most of all, may they know you deeply.
not a God they'd like you to be, or one whom others perceive you to be,
but the God of love, mercy, and peace that breathed them into life.
may You be the one they turn to, may you be the one they trust, may you be the one they know will never abandon them.
and may you protect them in your perfect care.
from my heart to yours, oh God.
amen.
