Night Prayer for Your Children While They Sleep

For parents standing in the doorway watching their children sleep.

“And all thy children shall be taught of the LORD; and great shall be the peace of thy children.”

Isaiah 54:13 (KJV)

Lord, my children are asleep. I look at them and my heart is full of love.

Watch over them tonight. Give them peaceful sleep and protect them from harm, sickness and bad dreams.

And all thy children shall be taught of the LORD; and great shall be the peace of thy children. Teach them Your ways and give them great peace.

Forgive me for my impatience today. Help me be a better parent tomorrow. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Short prayer to remember

Great shall be the peace of my children, Lord. Watch over them. Amen.
