"...Christ Jesus came into this world to save sinners; of whom I am chief."-
1 Timothy 1:15.
Merciful, Loving Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, we thank you for allowing the children to come unto you;
we receive the Kingdom of God as a little child- Mark 10:15.
Abba Father, we thank you for allowing us to wonder and imagine about your greatness; we thank you for being big enough, strong enough, and loving enough to carry us while teaching us to walk in the narrow, strait way.
We thank you for enlarged faith, hope, and love-1 Corinthians 13:13.
Immanuel, God with us, we thank you for receiving us: namely when the world tries to rebuke, reject, and be unkind to us.
We thank you for your grace and mercy that continues to bless us and reaffirm to us that we are your Beloved: the apple of your eye- Zechariah 2:8.
God Almighty, King Eternal we ask for your protection, and special favor on, in, and with our children: even the child within us that is still growing;
help us to have patience, love, holy words, merciful acts, and obey your direction for interaction with all children: in their many forms.
We repent of our sin.
We forgive our debtors- Matthew 6:12.
We receive your unconditional love, and your forgiveness.
We receive all of the blessings that you have for us.
Jesus is the Lord.
Amen.
Mark 10:13-16-
"...when Jesus saw...he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not...
And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them."
1 Timothy 1:17-
"Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen."
