Children’s Prayer to their best friend Jesus

Dear Jesus, you said, let the little children come to you, for such are the kingdom of heaven. Our best friend Jesus, we have come to you today like those children who first came to you during your earthly ministry. The gospel tells us that when they came to you, you laid your hands on them and blessed them. Sweet Jesus, bless us as you blessed those children. We are your friends. We love you! We need you!

Dear Lord, you are our best friend. Please watch over us. Hide us in the secret place of your shelter. Do not let any harm come to us. As we grow up, help us to grow up like you- in wisdom and knowledge. Help us to obey our parents, our teachers, our Church, and our elders. Help us to be nice to each other, to respect each other, and to respect our seniors.

We know you love us so much. You died for us. Help us not to waste your grace and your gifts. We pray that we will grow up being useful to ourselves, to our families, to our Church, to our nation, and to the world. Bless us today, bless us tomorrow, and bless us everyday. Amen.
