Jesus loved everyone, and especially small children for their easy acceptance of Truth and Love. Their true nature is to accept what is right and to be spiritual thinkers. As parents, grandparents and guardians our prayers can help build a spiritual foundation for them. Here are some prayers and inspirational thoughts which anyone can benefit from, as we are all children of God!
Jesus loved little children because of their freedom from wrong and their receptiveness of right.

Children’s prayers
by Mary Baker Eddy
From “Poems” in Miscellaneous Writings
To the Little Children
Father-Mother God,
Loving me, —
Guard me when I sleep;
Guide my little feet
Up to Thee.
To the Big Children
Father-Mother good, lovingly
Thee I seek, —
Patient, meek, In the way
Thou hast, —
Be it slow or fast,
Up to Thee.

Bible verses
Our Father prayer
Our Father which art in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done in earth,
as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts,
as we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil:
For Thine is the kingdom, and the power,
and the glory, for ever.
Amen.”
Matthew 6: 6-13
All your children shall be taught of the Lord; and great shall be the peace of your children.

My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.
