Thank you
You have made the world
Full of people.
Friends, family and strangers.
Thank you for those that I know,
For those that care for
And love me.
Thank you for those that I see each day,
Those who I talk with
And those that I spend time with.
Help me to be a good friend,
To care for and love them too.
The way I am
Father God,
You love me just the way I am.
You know when I’m good
And you know when I’m bad.
You love me just the same.
Nothing I can ever do,
Nothing I can ever say,
Nothing I can ever think
Will ever stop you from loving me.
Help me to learn from your love
So that I may learn to love you
And all those people that I meet
In a similar way.
Belong
Thank you for my home.
Thank you for the love and care
That I am shown there.
Thank you for my family
And knowing that I belong.
Thank you for my church.
Thank you for the people there.
Thank you for their friendship,
Their prayers,
The care that they show
And the support that they give.
May I show love in my home
And in my church.
Praying and caring
And offering support
To my family at home
And my family at church.
For some
For some families
All is not happy or well;
People are ill;
People no longer like each other as much as they once did;
People argue;
People lose their jobs;
People don’t have enough money;
People spend more than they have;
People don’t have enough food.
We pray for;
Comfort for those who are ill;
Understanding where people have fallen out;
Peace for those who disagree;
New starts for those who need work;
Financial stability for those in need;
Self-control for those who act without care;
Food for those who are hungry.
Help us to know how to offer
Support, comfort
And practical help for those in need.
We pray that they will look for,
And find,
You and the love that you have for them.
Bless
God bless mums
And God bless dads.
God bless sons and daughters,
Brothers and sisters
And all those people that I know.
When life is good, bless them.
When life is tough, bless them.
When they get along well, bless them.
When they’re fighting, bless them
Bless them every day
And every night.
Together
You created us to live together.
Help me to live in peace
With those around me.
