Keep them safe, keep them healthy, empower them to make good decisions that honor You and help them, help themselves. Praise to You, God of all life.
Your Future, Dear Friend

I thank You Lord, for sleep and rest, for all the things that I love best. Now guide me through another day, bless my work and bless my play. Lord, make me strong for noble ends, protect and bless my loving friends. Show grace to me and all humankind. Praise to You for Your design.
