Dear Lord, 

You look with compassion on all your children, especially those who are vulnerable.

May we work to create a world in which every child has access to food, clean water, shelter, 

education, health care, and all other basic rights.

May we teach youth about their role in working for peace, justice and the common good.

May we act together to ensure that the lives and dignity of children everywhere can be 

respected.

we pray for this new generation, the young men and women of today. 

Shine your truth into their hearts as they hear you in music, see you in art, 

and experience you through the love and care of family, friends and teachers. 

Build your hope into their lives as they encounter the power of nature, 

the majesty of the oceans, and the beauty in creation.

Sow your wisdom into their minds as they read the bible, 

discuss deeper issues of life, or encounter hardships or difficulties. 

Weave your love into their dreams as they find vision in their interests, 

opportunities for their talents, and aspirations for their abilities. 

Amen.
