Lord,
You created them
and have a plan for their lives.
You know them better than I ever will
and love them more than I possibly can.
You are capable of being there for them
in every moment.
As they grow,
as I have to learn
to let go…
I ask that you fill their hearts
with Your courage,
Your strength,
Your joy,
and Your love always.
Make Your presence felt
and deeply known
in their souls.
Be their guiding star,
help them follow
Your Light.
Fill them with Your spirit of truth,
Your wisdom,
Your desire
for the greatest good of all.
Purify their intentions,
teach them to hold
Your peace in their hearts
through trying times.
Grace them
with Your protection
and awareness
of Your purpose
for their lives.
Allow them to grow
in faith and hope always.
Fill them to the brim
until Your graces
overflow
through them
into the world.
Walk with them,
hold their hands in yours,
surround them with angels,
grace them with awareness
of Your mother’s divine presence.
Help them to trust
in Your eternal plan
and bring others
into Your sacred circle
of communion.
In Jesus name, Amen.
