A Child’s Prayer

By Victoria Carrington

Dear God please keep me safe and warm

Protect me from those who may cause me harm

God, hold me close and hold me tight

Guide me through the stormy night

Even when life seems hard and unfair

Please remind me you will always be there

Make me strong and help me stand tall

Even when I am afraid I will fall

Forgive my mistakes, I am not always right

Just continue to let me live in your light

Sometimes I feel small, weak and alone

Lord, please protect me until I get grown
